Update from Coffs
So, I just got this mail from Adrian. Sounds like a kid at Christmas when talking about the trails up there:
...we have race 2 of series 2 on Sunday and the track is awesome.
coffs trip- returned, update on trails
Hey all back from coffs, was too busy enjoying the beach and cocktails to do do much biking, but following the directions of a couple of guys on farkin, I found the most amazing downhill those guys run- basically you go from pacific highway, about 5-10 mins drive nth of coffs, and turn left down bucca rd..stard ascending up (car is a must, we went in a van but a 4wd would be a good idea further on!) then next left to central bucca rd., then keep going a while and finally a right into Mt Coramba Rd., from here its a steep spirally ascent on gravel/fire traily rd up, and up, and up..all the while you can see the single track winding along the sides of the road and then back into the scrub.. try to imagine Towers at ourimbah, 2 times steeper and probably 3-4 times the height! -then you follow this road all the way to the top- where u reach a view with the only pic i took! (soz camera was busted)-will post soon..to the very top..then find the single trail starting at the top (which starts with a ridiculously steep and ledgey single trail, which then smooths out to a steep flowing single track windy and switchbacky, jumps, drops, bridges (a bit north shore style), crossing fire trails, burms, and its beautifully carved right down the side of a mountain- all with b lines that are equally fun, and are clearly signposted at the highly dangerous bits- but nothing as crazy as say, lizard rock..breathtaking views too,- and the trails were so damn fast, was hitting 65kph on some sections!! Highly reccomend!
coffs region
does anyone know where i can find trails or maps of trails or whatever in the coffs harbour area? i saw some photos on this site, and have been looking the last 2 times i was there, but no luck...just thought someone may have been on some here?
