Organising a ride day
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Hi Guys, I live up near Toowoomba in QLD but am heading down to Lithgow to visit reletives. I ride DH up here with TMBC and was looking for a club or group of guys to ride with when i come visit. I'll be there from the 9th-13th. So if anyone on here is interested in a DH ride day please shoot me a message.
cheers
Kurt

It is your lucky day. They indeed have heaps of DH focussed tracks in Lithgow, and ride there most weekends. From local social rides to dedicated DH racing. Get in contact with Craig Flynn (Flynny on the Nobmob site but probably the same handle on other sites) who can help you out. He is also associated with the guys in the Blue Mountains club and NSWMTB as far as I remember. He has shown me around on rides in the Lithgow area before, and has been a true gentleman in showing around out-of-town riders his local trail network. He also runs the LBS called Insane Cycles. Over to you...!!
You could be in luck. We've a brand new DH track just about ready to rock. I'm sure the boys will be happy to share a shuttle or two
Thats awesome news! thanks guys! When would you be heading out there?
Not sure if I can do anything but I have posted on our FB page too so hopefully someone will respond

hey Kurt not sure if you got my text but the boys are riding Friday and you're welcome to jump in with them. They are also doing a bit of filming on Satuday so if you don't mind pushing up and repeating section you are welcome to tag along there too.
A big thanks to Flynny, Matt, Mal and Duke for the ride on saturday, was real fun! insane trail ! would you guys be able to post a link to the film you were shooting? ide love to see the end product.

Kurt

quick bit of rough footage I got with the cable cam here

Can't wait to see how it all turns out after Scott edits it up nice
Can was set up parallel to the cable so it doesn't quite show up how insanely steep these switchbacks are but I think I got the timing pretty good
And sorry we had to bail on you on the Friday
