Can be done as a looped ride or shuttles. With about 13 single tracks winding their way off the escaprment the area is reasonably contained. Trails generally follow the ridge lines starting flattish with short sections of steeper more technical sections towards the bottom.

X-Fusion NSW XC #4
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.

Based near Newnes, our tour will explore the beauty and vista of the Blue Mountains Range. We've uncovered a treasure of sweet flowing singletrack through canyons, the Wolgan River and around the Newnes plateau, and previous tour participants have finished with a smile on their face!

Ever had
... one of those days when you just feel off your game and are just not riding as well as you know you can?
We headed out for our usual Tuesday night ride, only two of us and Austo had to head of early so we decided on a fast and furious lap up Hassans and down the old DH track.
Got to the top OK, puffing and panting but feeling pretty good. Set the helmet cam and set off after Austo. Was struggling a bit to stay on line, bounced my battery out of it's holder, stopped to refit it and then caught back up, Austo had stopped to wait for me.
