Although these tracks can make a nice out and back sort of ride in their own right, their main purpose in life (well, at least for us) is to join with Terrey Hills and Wildflower Garden, from which points you can make a huge circuit if crazy enough.

Distance: 

The main trail is 3.5Km one way. Everything here, out and back is still only 13Km.

Meeting Point: 

West end of Ryland, Mona Vale Road.

Full Description: 

There's really not much to say here. This is a standard out and back fire trail.

As the summary says though, very nice to be able to join the Wildflower Management track (South end of Garden Gully) to Terrey Hills via the Sandy connector. Actually, that kind of ride would probably be the pick of 'em here.

Garden Gully isn't marked on any map and is actually a bit of sniggle that runs from the end of the marked fire trail. It's best ridden North to South, but that's not going to help you with connecting the areas we just talked of. It's not very long either way so don't worry about it.

Heading North to Terrey Hills, sandy connector is incredibly steep and covered in water bars... crazy high speed descent Eye-wink That section scores 4 blow lungs.

If you are using Ryland to link to Sandy then take great care on the steep sections. There is a tree down blocking the full width of the trail, on the steepest section, just past the sign warning...
