There's a small carpark and the usual sports field facilities at the meeting point. Past & Future Ride Meetings Here:
Details:
Head South on Old Illawarra Road until the sports field disappears on your right - about 100m from there a firetrail heads off into the woods. This soon becomes single track and weaves along a cliff edge with views over Woronora River on your left. After about 1200m there's a gate with adjoining fence (if there ever was any) long gone. Head through there and after another 400m or so turn right and cross the road. South of the road is easy, eh? One track, no getting lost - no such luck on the North. This is a maze of single track goodness and rough fire trails. Hopefully there will be more said about this soon, but in the mean time check the pictures and get out and enjoy! |

Also a few short free ride trails (but no shuttle access, so your pushing it back to the top)
