Royal National Park - Good tracks for riding in current conditions?
MTB'ing is the new golf...
I have a 'work meeting' with an interstate colleague on Saturday - he's passing through Sydney airport and has a 6 hours layover...
I want to take him to Royal National Park for a MTB ride (based on proximity to airport) ....which are the recommended RNP tracks under the recent weather conditions?

Lucas Heights would be a better option at present and is a similar distance from the Airport.
I've done both recently and the Natio has some huge full-width puddles across the fire trails. Whereas Lucas heights has been quite good after just one or two days of "drying time".
It does appear that the rains have been pretty coastal, and LH/Menai is that extra 10 km or so inland.
ye i'd avoid the RNP this week as we've taken a beating down here with the rain this week & last, like everywhere else.
Thx for the tips re Lucas Heights and Menai.... as I haven't ridden there before - is anyone with a bit lof local knowledge heading there on Sat arvo ~ 3 pm and wants to be a tour barbie?
Thx, Hans
Assuming nothing goes pear shaped, myself and one or two others should be there from around midday..ish.
Will most likely start from the main layby opposite ANSTO on Old Illawara Rd.
PM or SMS me if you can make it.
FYI 3pm is a lateish start as one you've gotten into the swing of things you will be limited for good light.
