When: 
Saturday, 15 March, 2008 - 09:00
Duration: 
3 hours
Come Rain or Shine: 
If it's raining, I won't be there.
Ride Database Entry: 
Ourimbah State Forest
Details:

Majority has spoken! As discussed in the forum, this ride will be on Saturday the 15th.

For those that have been to Ourimbah before you'll know the trails well. If youre a first timer this is some of the sweetest single track north of Sydney.

Ive posted the - 'If its raining I wont be there' - however this track holds up really well in the wet, and will only be a no goer if its torrential rain.

cheers!

If you have not been to Ourimbah for some time, you will notice that we have done some work on the DH track. Please take it easy on your first run and check out the new features.

i know i said i would come but i was injured at touch football last night and can't ride (or, for that matter, do ANY sport - not happy at all) - however! i keep a retired horse up the street from the meeting point so may visit him and you guys at the same time...
unless some miracle happens and i can ride by then in which case i will be very happy - have had a bowen so fingers crossed!!

MEEE Smiling

I think my last downhill was thredbo December so I could be a tad rusty! I'll bring the ute for some shuttles. I'm considering skipping the xc so I can get a good amount of dh runs in....

sadly cant make this one, have to work, have *sob* fun without me *wipes tears*..incidently anyone up for dh fanger on easter weekend? (sorry to hijack thread :0)

Little-Ditty's picture

I may be a possibility for this one. If I do, I would want to fit in a couple of XC laps.

bikemad's picture

up for doing a few laps of the xc track,its gonna be a blast doing it when its not water logged!

Funkychicken's picture

I followed the links and found some pics of the "updated" DH track.

looks like there's a new jump installed next to the mini rock garden about halfway down the track (check pics halfway down page). Can't wait.

just a word on timing for tomorrow....I'll be on a bit of a schedule, ie. have to leave at 1pm. If it's cool with everyone I'll start the barbie around noon. If thats to early then I guess it's raw bangers! ...mmmmmmmmmm

For myself, I'll be opting for the short course xc for a warm up then hopefuly get about four shuttle runs in before lunch.

see ya there!

Was great to get back up to Ourimbah today and although muddy in the lower parts it was still an absolute blast Smiling ....except i believe i lost my house keys somewhere so if anyone see's or hears anything about keys being found they may be mine. Sad

Cheers,
