Linking Terrey Hills to Oxford Falls
Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there is a way to link Terrey Hills and Oxford Falls without too much road work? I've heard there is a way via Morgan Road but can't find any details anywhere on this. I've ridden Cascades to Manly Dam and back through Davidson (following the pipeline) and that was a good morning out, trying to find a similar longish ride....
TIA

there are no legal trails that go from Terry Hills straight down to Oxford Falls.
Depending on how far you want to ride you have the option of looping all the way around the northern side of Terry Hills on fire trail and coming back out on, I think Ryland, then the Mona Vale Rd single track to the show ground. Cross Mona Vale Rd to the top of Quarry, go down Quarry and then back up Heath, exiting past the power station then you just basically ride along Morgan Rd down into OF.
Sorry would love to say we had legal trails down there but we just don't
How did you link the Pipeline (Davidson End) with the rest of Cascades?
I assume this is somewhere over at the St Ives end; i.e. across to Acron Road oval? DO you have a Garmin or other GPS map of your ride as I'd be keen to give it a go.
That's great - thanks for sending through those directions. I was after a decent length ride, that should be good training for the Fling and Bottlebutt (hopefully the folks at iAdventure have luck with rescheduling that!).
We started at the Acron oval end and exited at Stone Parade in Davidson, then took some back streets to get to the pipeline. The route is on Bikely at: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/TORC-Manly-Dam.
Its around 50km there and back with one loop of Manly Dam - a little bit of road in there but mainly quiet back streets.
if you're training for the Fling you want to find some cow paddocks to go train on as well.
Haha - yeah I remember those from last year, although the pain of riding the rollercoaster in reverse is what sticks in my mind the most!
