Ourimbah DH ride day Sunday 13 Feb 2011
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
CCOMTB will be holding a Downhill social ride day on Sunday 13 February at Ourimbah.
This will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to have a go at downhill, but who isn't sure if they want to race. For more experienced riders it's a good training day to limber up for the season, and to show off that new race kit that Santa brought you.
Basically, the day will run like a normal Ourimbah race day, but with no timing and no classes. The entry fee of $35 includes shuttles all day, and if you are not an MTBA member you will also need a day licence which is $15, which will be available at registration. Registration will be open from 8, buses will start running people up the hill at 9, and we will go through to 4 or whenever everyone has had enough. Full face helmets will be mandatory, and body armour and eye protection are strongly recommended.
For anyone who has not been to Ourimbah, the track is ridable on pretty much any type of mountain bike, and is very beginner friendly.
Registration will be located here:

We will have three buses running, so you will get heaps of runs. We will also have a BBQ and plenty of drinks.
