top night for a ride
Well sure the wind was strong enough to blow a dog off it's chain but still a great night for a ride if you could find shelter from the wind.
And a couple of my old favs were on the hit list.
First up a gentle cruise up Hassans Walls before linking up the Ewok and Townhouses trails.

Even a little chopped up by motos and with the occasional branch across the track it's still grin factor +10
Alternative Enduor track loop
They emerged from the darkness under the big sky of the Newnes Plateau. The milky way blazing in the crisp clear Autumn air.
Godlings on demon steeds. The 4 winds of time. They met on the plateau in a place know to some as Bungleborri camp, some as Nine Mile Cabin and yet others as Forestry Hut, the whatever cabin or hut had once stood there had long ago been eaten but the march of time.
Enduro Track
It's been ages since I've ridden the the Enduro loop[1] so, being a beaut morning I decided to skive off work and go for a ride. I couldn't be bother contending with the coldness of the creek so opted to ride up the road[2] rather than the short cut up waterworks gully. This was fairly boring, I didn't even have any truck try and squish me as I plodded up Scenic Hill.
Finally I got the the Zig Zag car park and headed on to the dirt of Newnes Forest Rd. A bit more pedaling brought me to a bit of single track that I thought was a short cut to the start of the run down to the MotoX track...
NSWMTB State Xc #1 Lidsdale
Hey all for those interested NSW XC #1 is on at Lithgow on the 20th April.
Entries are open through BOE
The course will be ~11.5km long, We gave it a test ride tonight, I'm thinking of calling this the Cornetto version... No boring bits:
8hrs of Dh + WWS 1
Ok the 8hr festival weekend
Saturday will see the very first 8hrs of DH. 3 short, gentle DH tracks, Teams of three one rider on each track start together.
Each rider will be given the opportunity of at least 2 timed runs on each track. Entries are capped so there should be time at the end to try and improve a bad run.
The best 2 runs of each rider on each track will be added into the teams total, lowest total time wins.
