Tracks for Lidsdale State Forest

3 Men and a Chain Saw
While the log that gave this section it's name is still there and you can challenge yourslef by trying to ride it in reverse, a change in our SF permit meant we had to pull the up ramp down (No permanent structures), A fun section none the less and a tough climb out

3 Men and a Chain Saw

Acid bomb
This was one of the first DH trails we raced at Lidsdale state forest and originally extended all the way down to the fire rd (and beyond, bottom section is still there and has a nice step down to berm but it's over grown and last I looked had a tree across it.)
From the bottom you have the option of going left and following the original Twilight trail out the the fire rd or right into "3 men and a chains saw"

Brams Bendy bits
Brams Bendy bits is a relatively easy climb out from the Dungeon. Some tight tiwsts snake it's way up beside the fire road.
Can be hooked up with the Frequent Flyiers and Dungeon for another nice mirco loop

Dead Zone and Sniggle Valley
From the top of "Brams Bendy Bits" head left into the "Dead Zone" and then around into the swooping fun of "Sniggle Valley".
A nice sustained down hill run with enough bumb and humps to keep you smiling.

Dead Zone and Sniggle Valley

Ego's not a dirty Word
This is a reverse of the normal start for the XC at Lidsdale State forest.
A fun blast down the fire rd before hitting the fast and twisty first section of single trail. You get a good down hill flow before the "Grant Medlock Memorial Pinch" makes you legs scream and lungs want to burst....
Finshes at the fire rd crossing before continuing into the "Clover Leaf"

Ego's not a dirty Word

FBT
The BT stands for Bumpy Track...
One of the little DH runs we use for club racing, especially Twilight races.
Some fast corners and small table tops makes for a great, confidence building section to start this leads in to some tighter corners and then into the bumpy section... Mogul like Millats buck you all over the place. The pinners find doubles, triples and tranfers through here. I just hang on and hope for the best. Out of the moguls and over a small double and down a steep (for lidsdale) little finish

Firetrail South

Flynny's frequent Flyers
One of the first bits of trail i designed and constructed from scratch and still one of my favorite sections at Lidsdale.
More twisty than it looks on the map it just has a nice flow. 3 little jumps add to it's appeal.
The first is a small double, though it's now rollable due to the landed being pounded down by repeated casings. The Seconds a single hump that i like to prejump to pump out of the back end and the Third is a bigger double off to the left that sets you up for the sharp right/left into the Dungeon.

Gazza's Gully to Jump of Doom
Either cut across from the end "Egos not a dirty Word" or from the top of the "Clover Leaf"
Gazza's gully is a fun little run with swooping berms which dump you in the gully then throws you at the brutal little climb up to the Jump of Doom

Gazza's Gully to Jump of Doom

Glen's mystery tour of messed up mayhem
This was a nice little ride/walk....
After a fun DH and some not so fun up hill slogs we turned of the firetrail 1 gully to early and found ourselves following some very "over grown" single trail... before reaching the top fire trail again and then on into the second bit of single trail near the old forestry house.
Not a bad ride, the up hills are a real challenge if you want to try and push yourself and the single trail a little straight if your not going full pass on a moto but interesting all the same

Hip And Miss
Hip and Miss is one of the little DH runs CTMBC uses for smaller club races, especially Twilight races.
A fast, twisty start. Nothing out of the ordinary. then you cross the road...
The long bermed Daytona corner points you straight at Super Dry. A largish double with a five meter gap. Some nice flowing and a small drop before the bottom is grin inducing.

Hip And Miss

Jump of Doom to Upsee daisy
Now days the Jump of Doom is more of a simple float over step down rather than the intimidating double it use to be.
Float the jump or take the B line then it's a nice roughish run down a fast section of trail. Hit the big sandy right hander and it's across the road and into the switchbacks.
a bit of flat trail gives you room for a breather before heading up the other side

Jump of Doom to Upsee daisy

Meggsies Maze of Maddness
A nice way to finish the Big track or the middle section of the Twilight and Darkness trails

Meggsies Maze of Maddness

Sheep Dip
Haven't used this section in major race for a while.
A nice rough run down into the gully followed by another punchy climb up to a small dam

Sheep Dip

South side DH 1
Ok we need a better name for this one so best suggestions at race 1 wins
Short little DH, similar to those at the northern end of the XC area but with a bit of Steepness.
Fun little trail

South side DH 1

South Sniggle

Test Track

The Captains Army
From the end of Sniggle Valley head up the road and look for the start of this one on the left before the intersection.
Some rough exposed tree roots keep you honest through here

The Captains Army

The God Father
One of the Little DH runs CTMBC use for their club races, especially Twilight races.
The god father has a fast open start and then over a small triple.
A long right and quick left throws you at the "No VB" double then your into the hip, small single that can transfer to the road, another 2 small doubles and some twisty corners... Feet up, no brakes, grin like an idiot...

The God Father

The Squiggles
The squiggles is an integral part of any loop at the XC compound of Lidsdale.
A nice little loop on it's own it is the first ST section of our usual Twilight series loop (The othe rtwo being "Meggsies Maze of Madness" and "Acid Bomb/3 men and a chainsaw"
Fun in either direction, with the Squiggles we have the several options in how to include it into the bigger loop, including off shoots that will link up either side of the loop with "The dam climb" and "Flynny's frequent Fliers"

The Squiggles

The Wang Kings Dungeon
The bottom part of the Dungeon was first constructed by some of the Wang locals as a little DH trail. We liked it so incorporated it into the trail with an little climb back out to the fire rd.
Following on from the Flyers it's a damn nice run even if I do say so myself
