Rode the first rocky trail at awaba sat really enjoy it. I was wondering where Dargle Farm, lower Portland is ? and what sort of track is it likely to be?

Sort of Wisemans ferry area.

The track rocks for enduros.

Can the trail be ridden any time? or race day only?

I've added Dargle Farm in the rides DB. Mainly for directions. If anyone wants to take some shots representative of the track, and maybe write a report that would be tops Smiling

Can anyone tell me how long the drive time is from newcastle to dargle farm ? thanks

Part of why I added that trail DB entry is that it has a location (and if you are logged in directions) link.

Google says 196km from Newcastle to Dargle Farm as you basically have to come via Sydney.

Hi guys,
The track will be open for practice from Friday afternoon. About 12km long. Some sweet singletrail broken up by wider trails and one longer firetrail, so overtaking won't be as hectic as Awaba. One pinch climb towards the end and the best descent into an event centre.

We will groom the track again on Sunday August 1, no need to build just remove some rocks. Feel free to come but send me an email first: [email protected] and I will send you details re time etc.

Cheers,
Martin
