Pacific Highway and Fernleigh Loop, Adamstown Heights
Details:

I am heading up the coast for a few days and plan on riding Glenrock State Conservation Area. I have never ridden here before so I am not sure how long is enough (I will have all day to ride Smiling ) so 4 hours seems a good start.

Who's in?
No confirmations as yet.
What Happened?

Were you there and have a story to tell?

I'll see if I can wrangle some time to play tour guide. Be warned though, I have been off the bike for 3 months, so if I can make it, fitness is not my forte.

That would be great if you could. As for fitness, I'm just getting back on the bike after at least a 6 month absence.

In case we don't get a tour guide I have found a GPS file for a loop but there does look to be a lot more tracks then this Smiling

I will load this on my garmin.

then you'll have plenty of time to ride around a lot of it. You might not find all the best tracks, but there are no real worries about getting lost for days... The ocean is on one side, and the area where you start is on an east facing slope pretty much, so if you get lost you can just head up the hill away from the water... Once you hit a road, chances are you won't be too far from your starting point... Well, give or take... There is some construction work going on near the sewage treatment plan which cuts off a couple of link ups, but there are ways around it.

If I'm around I'll come too.

It's not looking good for tomorrow. Does anyone know how these tracks hold up in wet weather. If its raining at the time I will have to cancel it Sad

Sorry Brian, i'm gonna pull out of this ride.Looks the this rain is going to continue with some heavy falls o/nite plus i have some christmas presents which this weather is perfect for. I will still have a ride up there soon probably a few days after the rain stops, if you or anyone else is interested send me a message.
