Hot Laps

1) Start the timer from the corner of the main road at Wentworth falls.
2) Stop the timer when you hit the water at the bottom of the trail.
3) Prepare the timer for the next challenge that is the climb out from the second creek crossing!
4) Smile because you earned it

A lap of the red XC loop. Start from the main car park.

Starting the timer at the trail entry and stop it again once returning to the same spot.

Just for the added challenge we started this one from the car park at the bottom of Mt Vic pass and took the steep bit of single trail up to the start of Berghoffers.

A good ride to get some hills into your legs.

This follows the Coach rd from Rydal up through Bonaventure to Mt Lambe. The road itself has public access but it passes through private land and there are several gates. please respect the land owners and shut gates after you.

The time starts at the little bridge on Charles st Rydal and finishes at the junction of the Great Western Highway.

The hotly talked about Camel Back Climb at Awaba deserves a Hot Lap Challenge for it's self

All ride data is as recorded on my Garmin Edge 500

Distance is 0.28km climbing 40metres

Instructions:

Start your timer as you PASS the Camel Back Climb sign and stop it once you have CROSSED the wooden bridge at the top.

Start at the gate at Cnr of Ralston and Elm Sts Belrose. Yes - this challenge starts/ends at the gate not top of Heath Track (and certainly not the newish gate part way down).

Follow Heath Track to bottom and then take Quarry Track up to park gate #1.

Back down to Heath and then take Lower Cambourne/Cascades up to St Ives gate #2.

Back down Cascades and up to Davidson gate #3.

Back down and then Bare Ck/Heath back to start (gate #4).

Put gate split times in sound bites.

A great fitness ride!

Starting on the fire road at the edge of the SF. Up the Bicentennial trail to the start of Ants Pants, follow this down to the bottom fire rd ned the train track. Up here to the start of Rags to Rich's. back up to the Bicentennial trail and up to the start of Snake Skin then back down to where you started.

Should get faster the more it beds in

Start at the Glenbrook gate into the National Park.
Through the causeway and up to the Ironbarks picnic area.
Down the firetrail into Euroka clearing and then up Bennetts Ridge firetrail.
Back onto the Oaks firetrail up to the gate at the top of the single track.
Turn around at the gate and head down the Oaks single track.
Back through the causeway and finish back at the Glenbrook gate.

Lets face it a group ride up Hassans often turns into a bit of a race but it's hard to keep that intensity when you are on your own.

Here your chance to keep a record for pushing yourself.

The challenge starts at the wooden Hassans Walls reserve sign near the first speed bump before you get onto the dirt and finishes at the (broken) sign on the left of the top intersection.

Start/finish anywhere you like along the well known route.

Use the Trail head sign as the start and finish for an accurate landmark if not in a race.

In the first half of the Green loop the 2 balance logs are allowed, this is the "A" Line.

30metres into the start of the blue section the course takes the right fork, go left if you like but its longer. Course uses the current black section with Management trail return back to Blue loop Note: further track is planned for the future when finances are available

At the end of the Blue section Do Not cross straight over the Management trail into the Green loop. You go right and ride up the Management trail and switch back at the sign post into the green loop.

At the end of the Green loop turn left and ride over to the Boundary Management Trail and turn right onto it. Follow the Boundary Trail back to the start.

Start on the road opposite the Glenbrook train station.
(due to the distinct possibility of a head on collision with another bike coming down the single track i chose the road all the way to the bottom gates of the oaks. those of you locals who are there at 6 am I'm sure you'll ride up the single)
Continue all the way to the top gates of the oaks fire trail. Turn around and head back the way you came.
Don't stop the timer until you get outside the Glenbrook train station.

Out and return from Echunga Road along Perimiter and Long trails to the lookout and return.

Per the Terrey Hills - Duck Hole/Centre Track - Loop but in Reverse.

I.e Starting at National Park entrance head DOWN centre track, down west head road, turn right, head up to Duck Holes entrance, UP Duckholes until you get back to the top of National park entrance.

You can start anywhere along the circuit, I usually start the lap at the bottom of Duckholes as that's the direction I am generally coming from.

Not sure why but doing it this way seems slower then the other hot lap challenge. Good target is to get this sub 30.

Not quiet as easy as you think - from the 'helipad' (that's the Oaks Clearing) to the gate has just a little climbing before that grin-inducing flat out fire trail.

Be careful of riders coming the other way and "Dead Man's Corner" - the sharp left near the top of the descent.

Note; edited finish point. Todd pointed out the official end point is actually the junction and not the top of the hill. Should shave at least 20-30sec off the times.

Starting from the top gate at the end of Whitecross rd, Winmalee. Through the Shaw's gate, along Shaw's Ridge, down into and through BlueGum, through the lower gate near the Grotto, back up to the junction with the Shaw's Ridge track. Just the simple loop with no add-on's.
