Good Times Enduro - Round 2

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 15 November, 2015 - 09:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Kinross State Forest
Meeting Point: 

The city of Orange is around 4 hrs from Sydney and 3 hrs from Canberra. Kinross State Forest is situated on the northeast edge of town, a 10 minute drive or 20 minute ride from the Orange town centre.

Meet at the Bulgas Road carpark, Western edge of the forest.

Drive out from Orange on the Ophir Rd, before you reach the rubbish tip, turn right onto Bulgas Rd. Follow this about 2km to the forest (the road turns to gravel).

Note that the 'Directions there' google maps link below may not give the best route/destination. It seems that google maps ignores Bulgas Rd when selecting a route and gives the next closest spot. The 'Meeting point' link should be correct.

Focused on fun, high quality trail riding, this new enduro event will appeal to our regular competitors and those into Enduro-style racing. We hope to make this more than just a race against the clock, it's about creating the same vibe as if you were out trail riding with your mates - but with racing, bragging rights, and prizes thrown into the mix. It's not all about chasing split seconds, we're going to make sure you have a good time whether you're at the pointy end or if it's your first enduro event!

I'm going to do a loop starting and finishing at Wisemans Ferry.

It follows the GNR until Mogo campsite then loops back on unsealed roads. Time permitting, we could call in for a meal and beer at St Albans pub.

Here's the route I'm going to follow:-

Start time is flexible but don't really want to start much later. Earlier would be fine though.

Thanks to Gareth for the strava link. Laughing out loud

Sorry for the late notice, but think I'm going to try my hand at this MTB lark tomorrow morning Eye-wink

Click the "I'm in" link or I won't know you're coming. If there's no interest shown will probably still be there but might not be punctual. Look for the guy in a Silver Jazz with a Yeti 575.

Hope to do something like one of these (30-40km/2-3 hours), but up for debate:
