At 1,065m Blackheath is the highest village along the great western highway (Bell is the only village with in the BMCC area that is higher). There are several options for rides in the area, this description is for the two out and back firetrail rides named Hanging Rock and Anvil Rock - in the one place here as they are so close and similar.

All

In line with the advocacy work that a number of local riders have undertaken with the Blue Mountains City Council (BMCC) at Old Bathurst Road (OBR) and Nichols Pde [Here]. The Bushland Management area of BMCC is in the process of drafting submissions to council to recommend for or against continued access to OBR and Nichols.

The Nichols pde site has been targeted for closure with BMCC reps’ views of OBR being more positive, but still unsecured.

Narrowneck Peninsular

It was misty and cool
not stormy and dark
As we nervously met
in old car space.

There was Mark and Peter on the giants
but for me GT made sense
Darren and Joel on Santa Cruz
and Meggs on his Tracer

Over the gate
and away we went
Through fog and light rain
that didn't let up

The trail was fast and fun
but then something went bump!
how that bump made us
sail through the air.

Up a small hill
we regroup at the top
then down the other side
so steep it was hard to slow down

What followed was more
of the same
with water bars so big

I thought a few of you might be interested in this.

I haven't had a chance to read it just yet so I have no idea if it is positive towards MTB or not
