looking a bit iffy hear in Newcastle so G'rock might get (ahem)more rain!!!
So where did you end up riding?
Ended up riding Awaba and Ourimbah.
Went up to Glenrock, walked thru the gate too look at a couple of trails and it was still pretty wet - needs at least another day to dry out a little more.
Awaba and Ourimbah were quite good (see trail status updates) a few puddles, but great fun.
I recommend the Ourimbah downhill. The trail fairies have done some great stuff. Super berms and basically made the course much more sustainable. Take it easy and it's a great even on the yeti 575, just need to take it easy on a couple of the rock gardens. I think I walked down 2-3 bits, but I think after knowing the right lines everything is makeable on an all mountain bike - just need the gonads to launch over / off a couple of the bigger rocks.
makes for a great loop, fire road climb from trailhead to top of the downhill, downhill course, then link into burnt forest and the rest of the xc loop. I know you miss Jurassic park, but the downhill is so much more fun.
I'm keen for Ourimbah but maybe after my last race of the year (the 8 1/4 hour) as I can't afford missing any more training if I'm going to have a chance winning the pot
didn't Know we were racing for pot ?
Just like the old days in Marin county eh!
I was just letting you know what I was going to buy with the winnings
