Hi Folks,

This is my first post and first time planning to ride the Six Foot Track at the Blue Mountains. I am dead keen to go, though may need at least 1 more rider and maybe one more car so we can do the course one way with a car at each end and return by late afternoon or evening of my planning is ok?

I have a large SUV, all my own gear and a 4 bike rack. This is a certainty and I am so keen. I have one other person with a 4 wheel drive who seems "close" to a certainty and probably one other, though never can be sure, so a few other would be great indeed.

Meeting Point: 

The main rd in has been dusty as all get up so in an effort to keep on the good side of the locals it might be best to come in via the showground.

From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)

Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park

Assuming SNORC's twitter feed is accurate, the track is now open!

The reason for pickng this spot to park is to minimise noise impact on neighbours. Please do not park in Quarry Road until we get guidance on what's acceptable/expected from SNORC.

This trail is rated Blue (intermediate) with some Black (advanced) options. If you can handle all the descents at Manly Dam without walking you will be fine on the blue route, although the berms and bridges may mess with your head at first Eye-wink.

The ride begins proper at the gate on Grose Road. This is about 3.4km from the junction with the highway and 450m from the junction with Jennings Road (bear left here on the way out). There is 850m of gravel road to drive to the gate.

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

So I put a ride in the calendar.

Meet at the gate before the trail starts proper. I'll be riding from home so if anyone doesn't know where said gate is I can meet you at Springwood High school (on Grose rd) a little earlier and ride up.

We'll be going for a social lap or two and then maybe a quick lap afterwards.

If it's raining (or has been raining) I won't be there. After the weather we've had this past year I'm sick of being wet and even sicker of washing bikes.

SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE A SCORCHER AT 33, WHICH MEANS EVEN HOTTER ON GNR. PM ME IF INTERESTED IN DOING SUNDAY MORNING INSTEAD.

I haven't done a NoBMoB ride for an age, due to a demanding first year of Electrical Engineering, reinforced with self confessed laziness (not in terms of cycling, but in terms of getting on the computer and posting a ride!)

My last exam is going to be the preceding week, so I am looking forward for an opportunity to hit some serious riding following that, and hoping that there will be some willing wheels to join me for it.

I'm having a spin out here tomorrow morning - I have a curfew to be back in town by 12pm so planning on doing GNR, then the track up behind the Buddhist retreat, up over the hill and down Donny's track, along the bottom of the valley, up Simpson's track and home down GNR and Finches line. At a reasonable pace - it takes me about 50mins from the ferry to the the intersection of GNR and the Western Access track so not race pace but no mucking around. If anyone feels like a decent hit out in the morning feel free to come along.

Company is welcome. It's been awhile so I'm not sure of the state of the circuit markings, so if you're a local your company would be particularly appreciated.
