Kiwarrak State Forest XC Loop
Next to the tip entrance (grassed area) on The Bucketts Way (between Tinonee and Purfleet).
I'm heading up to visit family this weekend again and am looking to do a couple of laps (at least) on the newly marked XC loop at Kiwarrak.
This is a really fun loop that's almost entirely singletrack or sniggle, and not particularly technical. The elevation change is mild with a few gentle climbs rewarded by flowy downhills. It is well marked with large fluoro painted arrows indicating the circuit at most trail junctions.
For the more adventurous, there are some more technical options off the main XC loop.
Who's in? 
Sat AM Terrey Hills Duckholes & Centre Track
Terrey Hills Shops / Fire Brigade Car park
That's the same as the more standard Terrey Hills rides.
Late notice - early lap of DH and Centre with a friend. Start at 7:30 am sharp.
Social Pace. Come along - the more the merrier. Click the star.
Rgds, Hans
Mt York - Saturday 7 May
Mt York Road, in Mount Victoria. Meet at the Lawson's / Berghoffer's trail head.
This is a once-down, once-up ride:
- Start at Lawson's trail head
- Single track to top of Lockyer's
- Down Lockyer's
- Either back up Lockyer's or up Lawson's depending on mood.
Make sure you bring tools / spares, as there are plenty of sticks and stumps to upset your ride.
Forecast is for a maximum of 14, so should be great riding weather.
Awaba for noobs
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
As discussed in the forum, any one is welcome just a social cruise to explore the area. Anyone who has ridden here before and feels like showing us around is especially welcome

As it turns out the job in the morning fell through so have changed it to sat morning ,I prefer morning rides any way

Beginners ride - Stromlo
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
Hi - 2nd leg of the 'Intro to Aussie MTB riding' for my brother, who is a retired MTB rider.
We'll be hitting Stromlo and doing all the favourites. It will extremely relaxed, is likely to involve crashing, but will not be fast.
We are riding Wingello on the Friday, so he will probably be broken from that.
Anyone is welcome, we'll be the two 'ranga' poms in the carpark.
Beginners Ride - Wingello
4Km SW of Wingello village on Caoura Rd there's a small base camp within the forest - seems as good a place as any.
Hi - my brother is in town from the UK and I'm taking him riding at Wingello on Friday and then Stromlo on Saturday.
IMP - he is not a rider. He has ridden and raced bikes back when we were teenagers, but hasnt really done much other than commute to work since. It will be a very cruisey ride, and extremely social.
It is likely he may even stop for a quick smoke halfway round the loop.
We'll probably do one lap of the Red loop before enjoying a burger at the Wingello Post-Office for lunch.
If anyone is off work, and fancies a loose ride, then just pitch up.
