Hot laps

OK, here it is! By popular request, your chance to brag about feats of speed!

Below is a list of 'Challenges' and the best times for each. These are the places we all know and love - just another reason to get out there more often!

Rules

  • This is mostly on an honesty system, post your best time in a Hot Lap content type to have it auto-magically included in the tables.
  • Your Hot Lap is like any other content type - users can comment to compliment you or sneer in disbelief. So if a time looks a bit suspect get a witness to comment and verify the time before that happens!
  • You can have as many entries per challenge as you like - a handy record of your increased speed, but only the fastest one is ever linked.
  • Content authors can create a 'Hot lap Challenge' type to expand the list. Make up a goodie, post a time and go straight in at number 1!
  • This is total elapsed time, you are not allowed 'oh but I took off 5 minutes for the flat tire' - your bad luck, do it again!

Most Importantly - Safety!

Remember this is just for fun, so don't take it too seriously!

  • Slow down for walkers.
  • Stop and dismount for horses.
  • Respect all other trail users.
  • Do not endanger yourself or others trying to beat any times here.

In the lists below, click on the 'Sound Bite' to read more or discuss that particular one.

Cascades
Exact Distance: 
5.38Km

Start at the Davidson Exit, down Cascades, Bear Creek Track (turn right here), up Heath Track and stop at the 'T' junction top of the hill (close by the substation). That's just to the right here.

Nice combo of downhill, flat, then that slog up the hill.

Cascades
Exact Distance: 
15.4Km

Start at the gate at Cnr of Ralston and Elm Sts Belrose. Yes - this challenge starts/ends at the gate not top of Heath Track (and certainly not the newish gate part way down).

Follow Heath Track to bottom and then take Quarry Track up to park gate #1.

Back down to Heath and then take Lower Cambourne/Cascades up to St Ives gate #2.

Back down Cascades and up to Davidson gate #3.

Back down and then Bare Ck/Heath back to start (gate #4).

Put gate split times in sound bites.

A great fitness ride!

Oxford Falls (Morgan Road)
Exact Distance:

Start/finish where the trail heads off into the bushes (close to that turn from Slippery Dip) and ride the Cyan line marked on this overview. Ie. bear right by the pond and skirt past the model aero club to get back to the start.

One for the mountain goats. Start your timer crossing the creek bottom of the Quarry trail (on the right, here) and stop it when you get to the first gate.

This is about 90 metre vertical climb in 660m distance, nice little sprint and great for training, rinse and repeat! Eye-wink

Ride Database Entry: 
The Oaks
Exact Distance: 
5.51Km

Not quiet as easy as you think - from the 'helipad' (that's the Oaks Clearing) to the gate has just a little climbing before that grin-inducing flat out fire trail.

Be careful of riders coming the other way and "Dead Man's Corner" - the sharp left near the top of the descent.
