Down Hill at Menai (Lucas Hights)

By Benny-B - Posted on 23 August 2008

I have been riding with some of you a couple of times at Menai and did a few laps after that with some mate doing a loop around 20KM. Today we found a very well maintained downhill tack with 3 different runs.
I just had my XC gear so did the easiest run a couple of time and loved it. It had some big burms the whole way down with some nice drops and a couple of small gap jumps that I hit. Only down fall is there is no shuttles, but there is a walking track back up.
If you are more HardCore there are some very challenging bits.
Very hard to describe where it is. If you watch the trailflix podcast on Lucas hights it lets you know the closest place to park and then you need to follow your nose, cause its not in the podcast that i actually featured in, because we did not find it.

There was an organised trip there and yes, it is great fun. I was there today also. You may find that some of the other tracks are doable on trail / XC bikes (ok, so the 15 double may pose a small issue).

Hi Benny,

Yes, I believe you may have stumbled on the trails that a group of us (Matt P too) rode a couple of weeks ago. Delicious P took us for a tour around there. The DH trail is really fast, not too many drops on it, and the berms are large and solid - plenty easy on a solid XC bike - although they were an absolute hoot on a larger bike. Is this the same trail you rode?

We will be sure to head out that way for a posted ride again soon, so look out for it. Make sure you bring your bigger big mate!

Cheers mate! Laughing out loud
