Lockyers trail

After a fantastic day's riding at Lithgow Alex and I were keen for some more, I mean really how much is too much MTBing? Anyhow we went to Lockyers trail today, 4 of us rode down it and back up Berghoffer's Pass. Lockyers is a really good techy downhill trail that would bring a smile to anyone and Berghoffer's pass is a pleasant scenic ride back up. David and Jordon had to leave after this and Alex and myself decided there was time to do Lawsons Long Alley which is also great, starts fast and downhill then rocky and downhill and finishes with flowing single track. I broke a hanger near the bottom, Sad eek no spare. Did single speed back to coxs rd that's not a road all but a super steep walk back to the top. Alex and I are keen to get back and I am loosely aiming for the 20th but the NoBMoB Xmas party is on the 21st and getting a pass could be tricky even for me, If this date doesn't work another one will soon. This ride is probably suited to smaller groups and experienced riders, who's keen?

told you the St up that way is slightly nice...

my favorite combination would have to be Up Berghoffers down Lockerys, up Lawsons and down Berghoffers

Though Coxs is a good DH run

Choices, but we thought on the drive back to finish after a downhill run would be preferable to finishing uphill. Have you gone down Lawsons flynny because I liked that so much I'd find it hard not to do again, however I will do your combo soon.

I find it all over too quick going down. It one steep hill to the bottom and some, admittedly nice, ST along the farm. Lockyers and Coxes give you a bit more of a ride on the way down.
