Mt Stromlo
Stromlo Baby - The forecast said a wet weekend, but the Trail Gods made good!
This is a compilation of my 1st and 2nd runs on Skyline, Luge, Western Wedgetail, Pork Barrel and Double Dissolution. I'd ridden Western Wedgetail, Skyline and Luge once before but it was just a cruise down behind the boy. This weekend I was out on my own at full pace.
Pork Barrel was amazing! And Double Dissolution was a heap of fun, popping off all the jumps.
Loved it !! My new favourite place to ride.
New Skills Park and Tech Loop for Stromlo!

Today I joined program partners Capital Hotel Group, TREK, Onya Bike, cre8ive, Makin Trax and Canberra Off-Road Cyclists and Mountain bikers Ben Henderson and Ben Cory to officially open a new 2 kilometre test track known as The Playground.
visit to Canberra/Mt Stromlo
Anyone have advice on which tracks that should not be missed at Mt Stromlo? Any nice combinations of tracks? Or other things to keep in mind?
I've never been riding there before, but will be going to Canberra Sunday and Monday and don't want to waste my time so was hoping for some good advice! Thanks
Frank
Great fun
We surprised ourselves coming 3rd in the "very prestigious" Male 6s 40+ category. For 3 of the guys on our team it was their first MTB event ever.
Everyone rode well with smooth transitions, consistent lap times and no flats or mechanicals.
