Suggest me a good loop at glenrock.
Ok, so with the plan of management in action, a good part of my current loop has officially become unavailable and I need to branch out.
My old loop was normally
- Jumping the gun through twistys, then back up lower JTG
- Baileys across to BJ's
- Back up shit happens then down BJ's again.
- Down the easement then the firetrail to snakes and ladders.
- Up snakes and ladders then down the rutted ugly trail to the picnic table
- Fire road again, going up upper world cup if it was a short ride, continuing down across the creek otherwise
- Left after the creek and over the hill to another creek crossing.
- through some now closed trails up to scout camp road, through elvis rock, log on etc.
- then up to the depot trail, back along fernleigh, black boy etc. then back to world cup to take me home.
As I can figure, pretty much the entire south section of my ride needs to be canned. So a few questions as I haven't been for ride since world trail have been through...
- How do we get back out from shaft? is there a trail past the sewerage works yet?
- Which way does the tip trail ride? Can I ride it from the top of snake and ladders? or is that where it ends?
Any recommendations for linking all the new stuff together in a loop?
Also, hat's off to all the people involved in making grock great. Every time I go for a ride the trails are that little bit better.
Cheers,
Jeff.

Almost Legal Loop
This suggestion is 99% legal with one piece of trail not on the POM.
- Jumping the Gun through Twisties, then back up LJTG
- Kennys to Baileys and across to BJ's
- Up Shit Happens and over to Seuss Land
- Through the newly worked Shaft ( and yes, this trail comes out at the shitworks gate entry & meets up at the bottom of the easement trail)
- head over to S & L's & right up Buckshot
- follow ya nose to Gun Club Road & as it bends around the quarry you will see the start of the Tip Trail on your right
- Follow this through to Mud Jumps/Six Shooter and back onto Gun Club Road
- down World Cup all the way to Yuelarbah Management Trail. Turn right, head down to the creek and up the other side, turn left at the top
- Ride 50m to top of hill and turn right (do not go down to the creek crossing), this is the trail NOT on the POM ( wish it was)
- follow this trail until it comes out onto fire trail and follow power lines on the left to the top of the hill
- turn left and follow this trail out to the Fernleigh Track
- head down to the Burwood Road car park, go through locked gate, past Behind the Watershed exit and take the next right
- follow until ya come out of the trees and turn right up to behind the Depot shed
- go down Behind the Watershed and retrace ya tracks back to the Fernleigh track
- head up Blackboys and follow ya nose back to Gun Club Road, you know the way
Enjoy

Hey,
Why don't you guys create a compilation of some of these ideas by making a ride profile/route for each? Then they would appear on the ride profile list... which for Glenrock is currently empty.
Here's a couple of examples from Manly Dam - Main Circuit and Perimeter + Long (Terrey Hills). Hope you get the idea.
If people post routes, keep them legal and out of the south side. We don't need to encourage new Glenrock riders to ride stuff they shouldn't be.
Sounds like a good idea though.
Thanks Guys,
Some great ideas.
I'll post my loop when I work out a fully legal one.
