So... let's say you have to make a list of the top 10 MTB rides in NSW. What would they be?

Don't forget... Can'bra rides are in the ACT and don't count!

Think about a tourist who wants to take a road trip through NSW with their bike... where would then go? Is there anything here in Sydney or should they just drive on by?

Orimbah
Yarramundi
Appin
Mogo
Lithgow
Carlgroover's Glenbrook ride
Womerah Range

Unless I've missed it, I can't believe no one has mentioned my all-time favorite NSW ride....
1. The Old North Road convict trail used in the Dirtworks, ridden from mangrove mountain end, and taking in 'spiders' and coming back up shepherds gully.

This looks to have some potentially interesting sections The Australian Bicentennial National Trail.

And so does the BMC Mountains To Beach.

Anyone tried them?
