CORC Round 3 Kowen Forest
Enter Kowen Forest by turning right into Kowen Rd as you travel up Sutton Rd -the signposted turnoff is 1.2 kms from the Junction of Pialligo Av & Sutton Rd (Queanbeyan).
Follow Kowen Rd. up for approx 5 kms from the large metal gates on Kowen Rd – the gates will be open & manned from 7:45 AM onwards. Kowen Rd. is mainly gravel & has been repaired & is suitable for ordinary cars – but remember that there is a 40 KPH limit, so drive with care. When you are leaving after the race, remember to follow the exit direction sign down Quarry Rd - one way traffic downhill ; incoming traffic is one way up the bitumen from the gate . Dont sneak down the bitumen against possible traffic , as the entry gate will be closed by then.
The course is 7.2 kms in length & will marked & open for a practice lap from 8 AM ; rego from 8:30 AM , trophy presentation for the ‘08/’09 XC Series placegetters will be held around 9:15 AM ; racing will kick off as soon as we get through the presentation.
If you have always wanted to race With CORC ,now is the time ! Round three of the Corc racing season and it is lots of fun , race hard but finish with a smile on your face . I usually find a nice cafe afterwards to contemplate the drive home ,and laugh at my abysmal performance in the race ..... ok not really but its heaps of fun all the same Give it a go .... you know you want to !! and the cold JUNE Canberra weather will toughen you up !!!! You may even have to dodge the odd roo during the race as well

2009 Highland Fling

Wiseman's Ferry social ride
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Well, for this weekend anyway, so I thought I'd go for a Sunday morning bimble.
This will be the compact Wiseman's Ferry ride - up Western Commission Track to get to the ridge, then turn left to follow the good bits of the Great North Road, back to and down Shepherd's Gully with the unfortunate few k's gravel & bitumen finish to the ferry. 35-40k's all up at a respectably social pace - this isn't a training ride, though I would like to get back home in time for cucumber sandwiches and earl grey, so anticipate a 3 hour or so ride.
