Quarry Road Track - that has its ups and downs

When: 
Saturday, 18 September, 2010 - 08:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Quarry Road Track (Berowra Valley)
Meeting Point: 

End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby

31 Stewart Ave, Hornsby, NSW

Just quickly cruising down this track to start the day, and not-so-quickly cruising (or more so CURSING) back up. Wouldn't mind some company.

It's just firetrail, but the great waterbar-punctuated downhills make it great fun, and the not-so-fun ascent is nevertheless good for fitness.

The old bridge down the bottom is beautiful, and a highlight of the ride, as well as a couple of other nice rest areas to break the climb.

Sunday, 31 October, 2010 - 09:01
Ride Database Entry: 
Ourimbah State Forest
Meeting Point: 

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.

-33.275884,151.377053

Awesome race at the best track around (ok, so I'm biased). Come along and race, and be home for lunch. Please park at the upper car park, I believe the lower one shouldn't be used by MTB riders any more.

XC Race day Fees are $15.00 plus an additional $15 for an MTBA day license if you don't have one. Registration is from 8am, racing starts at 9.30 sharp.

CCOMTB website is HERE

Don't miss the final epic 6 hour race to the brilliant CCOMTB season.
