DH around newie this week? (guide)

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Anyone fancy taking a newbie out for some DH sometime in the next week or so? I will probably have an early finish at work tomorrow (lunchtime-mid arvo) and it looks like I should have time free on Saturday and Sunday.

I've just bought a Reign and it's only seen a couple of rides in Lismore, keen to get it into Glenrock or any other downhill spots in the area.

Can travel

Cheers,
Dan.

Trail recommendations please - for Hunter Valley

Hi All

As per my other post Im up in the Hunter area soon for work. I'm planning on riding the James Estate Winery and probably will ride the Singleton trails as they are close to where I'm staying. Thats going to be Day 1 .. I'm trying to work out Day 2.

I will be on my Dually XC but might take the AM.

I'm tossing up a few options, I'm keen for any feedback.

- If I can get a shuttle up Putty Rd I was thinking of doing Old Bulga Rd.
- Dungog Common
- Awaba

Trail recommendations please - for Newcastle (Glenrock or Jesmond)

I'm up in Newcastle soon with an hour or two to kill after after a meeting close to the City.

I was planning on taking the Dually XC but may take the AM bike.

Would you recommend Glenrock or Jesmond/John Hunter?

Complete and absolute newbie- advice please?

Hi all,

Complete newbie to the Newcastle area really, and have never mountain biked before. Was riding down the fernleigh track and saw the track used off to the side- walked around there for a bit and decided i definately need to learn mountain biking!

So, what advice can i get on renting/trying it for the first time, how most people learn and and any groups that will allow a girl like me to join them?

Thanks!

Hi all

I've recently got back on the bike after recovering from a ruptured ACL and have been riding to work through glenrock twice a week to get the strength and fitness back. Its hard to find the motivation to ride by myself so I thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone is keen to join me.

New trails

Found some great single tracks at Marmong Point, Lake McQuarie over Easter.Start from toilet block, ride up grassy hill behind houses, across the gravel fire trail road into a single line, follow main track. Bridges the lot.
Have fun.
Cheers

Awaba This Weekend

Anyone have a recent condition update for Awaba? The latest update on the home page was from 4 days ago. Been much rain since?

We're staying in Maitland over Easter and i'd like to head out to Awaba if it's not too wet.
