72Km Water Station
Top-ish of the steep-er climb there was a water station. 72Km point in the 2007 Dirtworks. Start of the Womerah Range Trail and 28Km of pain on race day.
On any other though - probably a damn fine ride!
Bring on the Fun
Almost done with the climbs (heading to St Albans) - junction of Jacks Track & Womerah Range.
Nice firetrail with views from the Ridge. Killer climb up but fantastic descent down Jack's Track (well - when it's dry).
Ryland & Muppets

100m Walk
Looking back to the creek crossing. This trail is marked as a walking track, but the 100m or so around this point is about all there is that isn't really fire trail.
Water Bar Madness
This trail is marked as a walking trail on the topo map, but clearly is not. It's way steep fire trail with lots of water bar madness to be had on the way down. Take care!
Pallet Bridge
Don't suppose this pallet bridge was really needed (there's a path over this gap to the right) but someone found it fun to put down here anyhow.
Although these tracks can make a nice out and back sort of ride in their own right, their main purpose in life (well, at least for us) is to join with Terrey Hills and Wildflower Garden, from which points you can make a huge circuit if crazy enough. Also, Muppets is a nice little single trail loop of a little over 2km.

Bring plenty of water and a few snacks, remember hills are you friends because without climbing them you would not be going downhill.
Be prepared for a hill fest this out and back trail has plenty to offer even if it is only firetrail. Give it a try and see for yourself.
Chiltern Track

Not really a ride - but a testy little hill to join up or tag onto others in the area.
