I know the boys who had a day last week on the big bikes would like to go back to oxford falls downhill. I thought it would be good to organise a ride for the people who fancied a cross country blast around the, well? Cross country course! Then meet up with the guys on the other ride(and by guys I mean men and women) for some photo ops and a bit of a laugh down the downhill course. I'll even lend my bike to anyone who wants a blast!

Big training ride epic...

Okay I know this sounds like a big ride...thats right its going to be 60km of joy!
After the Galston Gorge, we hit tar on Quarry Rd and head for Castle Hill via Round Corner on the Old North Rd, we get off at Gilbert Rd and take some parks, and backstreets to get to Fred Caterson Reserve.
There are some hidden gems of single tracks here, plus the trails within the reserve proper and the BMX track, which is always good for burning excess energy.

Slight change of plan...

Not many people put up their hand for a Mini DW (read: "epic") and after a bit of chat on recent rides, and the fact distance events are over for a while we decided to tone this one down a bit. The new route becomes:

Meet Wisemans Ferry. Cross on East Ferry. Ride up Devines Hill (see below).

Decision 1: Ride down then up Shepherds Gully... votes on the day win Eye-wink Think ahead (see Decision 2) before voting Eye-wink

Ride the 'main event' - brilliant technical trail to junction with Western Commission Track.

Alright! Mind is made up!!

Kincumber it is!

The "new track advisors" are telling me it has both nice XC and DH parts. For this ride I would like to do more of the XC and actually do some 'riding' Eye-wink.
Meaning yes we will do the DH jumps (or at least two of us and it's not me Smiling ) and tricks but won't spend much time on playing and picture taking at each spot.
(Of course only to have more time for lunch after Smiling

I hope that suits everyone.
Can't wait!!!

End of Bronzewing Dr, Kincumber.

It appears we have interest in checking out Kincumba Mountain. Sounds like a nice place to ride. I am always open for riding "new trails". And it looks like we could probably fit in a couple of laps too, if it only takes 20 minutes to ride back up to the top. I will be happy to lead from the back! Laughing out loud

In lieu of the postponed Mini DW another plan is here...

Lisdale State Forest. XC track, plus some exploration of the stuff south of the highway. Word is there's loads of sniggle in there. Looking at a map there's plenty of fire trail at least, so we can ride that for some Ks then cross to the XC circuit for some fun later.

Forecast at this point is cold (literally freezing early on), but sunny later. Max 12C, so bring your layers.

Day 3: Again a late start to allow for what might be a late night Saturday.

No idea about Majura Pines other than it is meant to be nice single track similar to Sparrow hill.

Will leave Sunday arvo open for the moment. If Majura Pines isn't big enough we can head back to Sparrow Hill or maybe somewhere else after lunch.

Definitly looking for a local or someone with trail knowledge to tag along and lead this one. If you can please post back or PM me to let me know.

Day 2: a later than usual start to allow those coming down from Sydney the chance to get there in time.

This place is by far the best place I have ever ridden and think a day there should be no probs at all.

As a suggestion we start with a group ride of the full loop, back to the cars for a BBQ lunch or maybe a run back into Queenbeyan for lunch, then back onto the trails for an arvo of fun. Maybe roid boys can do a quick lap and the rest of us can go back to the particularly sweet parts, lets play all that by ear.

If we have any Canberra / local "lurkers" that would like to play tour guide barbie then please let us know.

Oxford Falls

Having ridden Oxford Falls on the weekend and enjoyed it, I am thinking another tour is in order. It has certainly been a while - a month or two? And it seems to be the trail in the best condition too.

I intend this ride to be for all comers. So this means you!

If we experience rain on the day, I am unlikely to go. Too much bike maintenance is required. But I will post a cancellation on the morning if this happens. Meet at the dirt carpark on Morgan Road.

I hope to see you all there. Call my mobi on 0438 885 410 with lateness.

Hi all,

Some people are interested in getting back out to the Marramarra National Park. Me? I will be a first timer.

By the sound of the trail review (thanks Rob!) this will be an interesting ride that contains all the hallmarks of a fantastic single trail ride. Uphill, downhill, single trail, some fire trail, rocky bits, excellent exploration, and a lot of fun! Come along and join in the good times.

There's another ride at Terrey Hills this morning: Easter Social Ride.

That one is billed as a beginners/lurkers/newbie ride. For those wanting to be sociable, but also go a little further, a little faster here's a proposed second ride, starting half an hour earlier at 8am.

We can blast round the Duck Hole/Centre Track loop then hit Perimeter and Long Trail. The added part is 14Km which should see the other group get a 10-20 minute head start. There's always the option to drop down to Duffys Trail on the way too if this proves to be not enough.
