Awaba XC laps
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road. See for details.
Okay, as discussed previously, I have not been to Awaba before and am very keen to have a trundle around the XC trail. Who's keen?
I have posted the ride for Australia day, as my other upcoming weekends are already full.
I plan on doing 3 or 4 laps, depending on daytime temps. These forests can get pretty hot (probaby noone needs any reminders of Ourimbah for the 12 hour). There is also the possibility of setting up a BBQ and downing a beer afterwards, if you were also keen for that.
AWABA
Gretings all,
I did a ride out at Ourimbah today and the topic of conversation eventually turned to the Awaba XC trail. A trail that I have never ridden before. And one that looks fantastic and well worth the trip. 
Are there any other riders out there keen for an explore around Awaba? I would guess this will be in a few weeks time as my next week or two is full. What is it, a 10km lap? Maybe fit in 3 or 4 laps?
Cheers.

Ourimbah XC track
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
After struggling though the hills at Mogo last year, I thought better of doing the Angry Doctor this year and just have not done enough prep. Anyhow, for those who are not going here is a good ride we can do.
I would like to do 3 laps, but if there is any demand for the DH we can have a crack at that too and do 2 xc laps.
This will be social, but limited stops, so only intermediate riders please.
Camp Wingello
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
Heading down to Wingello for the weekend in preparation for a couple of upcoming rides. Going to make a weekend out of and bring the tent for a spot of camping.
Planning on riding both days, the pace won't be super-fast.
Feel free to come along for either or both days.
Riding on Day 2 will start a little earlier. (Probably 8am'ish)
I will also be bringing my GF as she is keen to ride some of the other trails around the place, so consider this a WAG friendly weekend of riding out of the city.
