Details:

Come along. A couple of us will see what AlexD thinks of the new Trek Fuel X 9.

The XC Loop will go past a jump area. We will probably do 2 laps.

This little XC Loop boasts lots of variety. Well worth seeing. It does not take long to get there from the M2. Takes me about 25 minutes from Thornleigh.

wish i could get my timing right for a ride up there but im doing the xc ride at ourimbah on sunday morning then the tigers knights game at newcastle in the arvo

i actually havent been there for so long that i couldnt comment on the ever changing jump area
but the last time we were there we completed the small downhill run along the fire trail fence from the jump area down to the bottom weir (Noel you may know where i mean)
we added a jump before the entrance to the snake run
but walk it before you ride it as it may be all over the shop by now

cheers guys and go the tigers

I should have a good chance of making this ride. Have a family commitment at lunch time but should be ok. If I am not there on time dont wait for me.

Good ride guys. I was very impressed with this trail and look forward to riding it again real soon. Next time I will be wearing some wing armour.

Jumps: Although we found lots of jumps etc, best to hook up with Kurt to find out what jump loop they do.

XC: We didn't do it yesterday but you can basically work most of the way up to Jenkins Road Carlingford if you turn left into the single track just after we crossed that large rock platform at the end of the DH. That trail is in some street directories.
