Ourimbah track conditions after rain?
Hi Guys
I'm wanting to go up to Ourimbah this weekend for a look at the course and get some training in for the Fat Tyre Festival coming up. However, having never been there before I was wondering how well it would've coped with this rain we've just had?
Thanks in advance
Phil
PS Have looked at the Nobmob weather page
Ourimbah State Forest - Sun 31st Aug
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
One week before the Angry Doctor, so aiming to have a semi-hard (way-hey!) ride, perhaps 4 laps of the main XC loop to get some sniggle skills practice and then perhaps an explore or some unknown (to me) trails, and/or some downhill fun.
The weather looks a little undecided coming up the weekend at the moment but the track does deal with the wet quite well (the grave yard is still off limits I believe making the lap less than 10km's). That said we will need to get a better idea before heading out.
Another ride Sunday 20 July 08
Hey all. If there is anyone else that wants to ride with another person or two this Sunday 20 July i am planning a smaller, faster alternative to the social Terry Hills ride. Somewhere around northern Sydney - Cascades, Manly Dam, Dural or Ourimbah maybe. I ride an entry level hardtail but at a decent pace and for a couple hours at least. Post back if you're interested or get my mobile phone no. from my profile. Have a good weekend! P.s. There is a very small chance i will have to cancel if i can't get a rim tuned by Sun, which is another reason i was keeping this informal.

Ourimbah State Forest - Sat 7th
Does anyone leave near the Ourimbah tracks? I'm keen to know what it's going to be like after the recent rains. I know deals with the rains better than other places and that the grave yard is closed already. Keen to do a ride tomorrow if poss... anyone?
2007 8 1/4 Hours of Power (or lack of)
Well here’s a quick summary of this years 8 ¼ Hours of Power at Ourimbah. It didn’t start off well as we lost one member due to illness before the start so that left Harry and I to ride in a pairs team (I was hoping for a cruisy day!).
01 - Stopped atop the XC loop
Here we are stopped at the top of the hill about half way through the XC loop.
