Wylde MTB Trail Community Open Day
Wylde MTB Car park and Trail head is just off Elizabeth drive located next to the Sydney International (Cecil Park) Shooting Centre. The turn off can be found on the left 3km Due west from the M7 Motorway or on the right 600m Due East from Mamre Road.
As many of you know, due to the heavy rain we have been experiencing over the last few weeks Western Sydney Parklands (WSP) Trust management made the unfortunate decision to postpone the official Wylde MTB Trail Community Open Day scheduled last month.
New Date of Community Day
WSP are now pleased to announce the new event date will be Sunday 12 October (12pm to 3pm).
Red Hill social explore
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Going to explore Red Hill, trying not to get too wet and muddy on the way, social ride for all levels of rider.
Oaks up and back this Saturday - early start.
Glenbrook station carpark.
I'm doing a training ride on the Oaks this Saturday morning if anyone wants to join me. It's always more fun and more rewarding riding in a group.
I'm looking to do it in just under 3 hours so not a blistering pace but not dawdling either.
I'm firm on the start time though as I have to be back in the city before lunch.
Hopefully see you there (weather permitting).
Central Coast Ourimbah Mountain Bike Club - CCOMTB DH Round 5 @ Ourimbah SF
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
The Ourimbah downhill track is not considered to be a difficult track, with 'B' (easier) lines around the difficult sections, but is very unforgiving with many rocky sections and trees that are close to the edge of the track.
