Sunday, 1 May, 2011 - 08:30
Duration: 
3 hours
Come Rain or Shine: 
If it's raining, I won't be there.
Ride Database Entry: 
Appin
Meeting Point: 

North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.

Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.

-34.200985,150.792578 (North end of Burke St, Appin)
Details:

with all this rain around it seems appin is most likely to be the dryest MTB track in Sydney so a few social laps will be the go ,good opp to check the place out before the rock wallaby enduro in 2 weeks and for all those who are not riding dirt works but want to get out for a ride come and join us for a bit of fun!
I am open to changing start time to suit others If it helps.

Cheers mate, I'll be there in a black ute with a white giant anthem on the back. Sounds like its going to be a bit mission trying to hold the pace with you but I'll see how I go...

Me and a mate are heading there early Sunday morn to do a couple laps, we'll be on the track around 8, the rain hasn't been too bad down there looking on the net, 6mm on Tuesday and only a further 6mm over the rest of the week. For those that haven't ridden there before, you're going to find a new favorite place to ride! Great pies at the local bakery too.

I think he should fill a back pack with sand too with the way he has been riding ,especially at Appin , It was the first place I rode with him last year & was a machine then . Have fun guyswould like too be there but other commitments this weekend .

Hope you like a good workout, plenty of rocks and roots, awesome trail though, just don't rely too much on some of the berms as one of our guys found out a few weeks back.
We'll be there in a Silver Falcon Ute, a black/white/red Merida OneTwenty and a Giant Trance. seeya on the trail
