Escape the rain at Wingello
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
I'll be going here instead of Andersons. I will be leaving around 7am from Epping area. If anyone wants a lift PM me and we'll see what can be organised. Spare roof rack with 9mm QR fitting plus bike rack for 2. I already have one person coming with me but room for 2 more at a stretch. Plan is to get there around 9am do a loop, have a break, do another loop, have a break, do another loop and come home. Never ridden there before and looking at the BOM site has had no where near as much rain as Sydney.
Solution for rainy Sydney - [Drought in Queenstown, NZ)
Did you know that NZ's South island currently has a drought? Perfect timing to get that $ 360 return ticket direct to Queenstown...the new MTB capital of the world! (Yes, it's even better than Rotorua).
We just got back from a 2 week camping and MTB'ing holiday in sunny New Zealand to arrive in rainy, muddy Sydney...
Here are some recent videos that were filmed in the same Queenstown location -
Heli-biking from the top of the Remarkables: (~ 2000 vertical metres descent on awesome high alpine trails)
Wanted: Capital punishment 50K tickecks
I need two entrances to the 50K capital punishment 2012 if anyone has any - one will do?
Cheers

Hors Category Climb
I wasnt going to post this as a hot lap as it probably wont be that contested well given the distance from Sydney, but if you're looking for an Hors Catégorie climb or happen to be in the area, then this is the closest I've found to Sydney. At 800m vertical climb it falls under Strava's HC class.

It's a dirt road with some corrugations and cattle grates located at barrington tops. I did it on a mountain bike (albeit 20 years old), but it could really be done on a roadie running 25c tyres.
Have fun!
Clean-up Australia Day 4th March - Oxford Falls
Guys,
We love our tracks and work hard to keep them great.
On the March the 4th, help us doing a little garbage cleaning on the Oxy downhill tracks and the road (Morgan Rd) back up.
If you can make it on Sunday the 4th it would be great, but if not, perhaps you can help by taking a little of the litter home with you when you ride the area.
See more details at:
