BlackDiamond
The steepest trail of Hassans Walls.
Bit of a hike to get a big bike to the start. The start is down an old fire trail, fast and fun.
Then you get to the cliff edge, Over the old ants nest and down through a break in the cliff and hard right
From here a maze of old moto trails and walking track converge with erosion gullies. The Black Diamond crisscrosses these and it can be hard to tell which trail to take. Most of them will get you to the bottom with out dropping you over too big a cliff...
Jump of Doom to Upsee daisy
Now days the Jump of Doom is more of a simple float over step down rather than the intimidating double it use to be.
Float the jump or take the B line then it's a nice roughish run down a fast section of trail. Hit the big sandy right hander and it's across the road and into the switchbacks.
a bit of flat trail gives you room for a breather before heading up the other side
Gazza's Gully to Jump of Doom
Either cut across from the end "Egos not a dirty Word" or from the top of the "Clover Leaf"
Gazza's gully is a fun little run with swooping berms which dump you in the gully then throws you at the brutal little climb up to the Jump of Doom
Enduro loop (Far Loops)
Some really nice bits of trail but best to avoid in the wet as it can get boggy in through Jurasic Park
Hanging Rock
An easy fire trail ride with lots of big water bars for fun. The trail ends a Baltzer Lookout with views across the Grose valley towards Pierces pass and Mt Banks.
A steep walking trail heads down to the left to access the spectacular "Hanging rock" (known to BASE jumpers as "the Finger") best to leave the bikes at the top.
Blackheath Rocks
At a Glance
At 1,065m Blackheath is the highest village along the great western highway (Bell is the only village with in the BMCC area that is higher). There are several options for rides in the area, this description is for the two out and back firetrail rides named Hanging Rock and Anvil Rock - in the one place here as they are so close and similar.
Bungleboori to Capertee
Great ride across Newnes state forest and Gardens of Stone NP
This ride does cross Private property and permission needs to be sort from the owners of Pantoney Station.
We utilised a big car shuttle startin gat the Bungleboori picnic ground and finishing at the Capertee servo on the Mudgee rd, however Dave Noble lists it as an over night loop ride starting at Lithgow and camping near Capertee.
Pretty mush the whole ride is on fire rds but there a some very fun section and a plethora of spectacular views.
Donnybrook track
One of the longer single trails on Hassans.
Be a bit mind full that it ends on private property so don't skid down the last hill. Also Jump the fence at the bottom rather then head left or right into the neighbors yards
Enduro Loop (Middle section)
This is the middle section of the enduro loop
Can be done as a loop on it's own in either direction (I think it flows better clockwise)
or used to get to other stuff further out.
Off roads
The off roads are a bit of a short cut down the back side of Hassans to the Vale road. Loose and rocky in places
