Oaks new single track was heaps of fun
I rode the Oaks trail today, apparently it was the opening day of the new single track.
The section that's been updated is what I would describe as the 3rd bit of single track, the section that starts off to the right after a bit of a ride down the dirt road.
Being brand new it was very "MTB Park" and pretty smooth but there were some great technical sections / drops, one that almost owned me. Give it some wet and a few hundred riders and it will only get better IMO.
Unfortunately due to other commitments we could only do 1 run. I can't wait to go back.

The Oaks
Does anyone know if the upgrade works on the oaks are now complete or is part of the single trail still closed?

Local Trails
Hi guys I live in Glenbrook and i was just wondering if anyone could PM me some details about local trails. I ride The Oaks and Andersons several times a week, so they are getting a little old. I've also ridden most of the rides on thefathippys website. Any details on Katoomba singletrack or less known trails would really help me out. Thanks in advance.

The Oaks - Please keep out during construction.
Please resist the urge for a sticky beak.
In regards to illegal access to the site while its closed - I'll try and get a bit more information out to see if we can reassure people a bit with the works we are undertaking. As well as the safety issues, it adds time onto the project works - they may have to redo works once half a dozen bikes have gone through the work site after they've left. As you know - we're working to very tight deadlines, and need all the time we can get. - Project Planning Officer, National Parks & Wildlife Service
Oaks sniggle repair work
Got this from another forum today:
'...NPWS .... advise that they will be carrying out upgrade works on the Oaks, and the first step will be the last two kms of singletrack, "where the route is poorly placed, and badly eroded". This section will be closed during the works, and we will need to divert to the road.
They are "about to start"..."

Katoomba singletrack?
I've heard people on here talk about the "Katoomba singletrack", but can't find any maps or reference to its location. I live in Marrickville, but have a project that might see me in Katoomba fairly regularly. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Oaks status?
Planning on catching a train to Woodford and riding down the Oaks tomorrow morning. I've just read on fb the firetrail has just been graded. Does anyone know the area of affect?
Andersons and Oaks Condition?
Has anyone been on Andersons and or the Oaks this week and have a trail status update? I was thinking of linking the two up Saturday (provided the heavy rain Friday doesn't eventuate) and would like to know if it will be a muddy, grind paste type of ride or a nice leisurely jaunt through the Blue Mountains.
Cheers
