Coming to ride Manly Dam, anywhere else to ride?
Hey guys,
A couple of us Singleton fellas are coming down this Sunday for a spin around the Dam. Question is, are there any other places nearby where we can go for a bit more of a ride nearby? We are all XC riders so no DH tracks for us to try maim ourselves on thanks. We are all reasonably fit so hills are no issue.
Trails at Oxford Falls
It's been a few years since I last rode at Oxford Falls. Now I hear that the natonal parks people aren't too happy about many of the trails there, and have put up 'no cycling' signs.
That's rather unfortunate, because, whilst I also know that they are trying to build something at Bantry Bay or Stringybark Ridge, that will take a very long time to get approved, let alone constructed
The strangest thing....
I was riding up on Red Hill this arvo near the single track section....and I noticed a bike on the side slightly off the path. It is a dark blue hardtail, quite old and even had a chain tied around the bike (I think near the saddle). I thought someone was doing some exploring and was just leaving their bike there. Did a few loops and then we bumped into another MTB rider just off the end of the single track section. We chatted briefly and he mentioned that the bike had been there for a month now.
Cascades via Mona Vale Single Track bottom of Oxford Falls (Pls comment if this route is OK to ride)
Hi All,
I'm a noobie to this site. I recently posted a ride to hook up for this route:
1. Enter Cascades from Stone Pde;
2. Through Cascades (few nice fast downhills), with long (killer - read good training) uphill to Mona Vale Rd;
3. Cross Mona Vale at St Ives Wild Flower Garden;
4. Enter single track parallel (awesome single track) to Mona Vale, through St Ives Show Grounds;
5. Eventually arrive at intersection of Forest Way, Mona Vale Rd (opp corner is Supa Centa);
6. EDITED..... Private Message me...
DH Newbie
Hey guys
Been riding xc for a couple of years now and just recently my mates encouraged me to go out and get a DH bike, so the purchase was made ('Goose Boot'r Foreman) plus all the riding the kit and now the guys who i was supposed are ride with are all out with injuries! So i was wondering if anyone has some time over the Christmas break to show round some local DH trails and maybe give a little bit of tuition so i can try and avoid ending up like my mates! (sorry squid)
Cheers, Nick
Rubbish left at the end of Long Trail
This is what I found when I got to the end of Long today. Shame on those who do this sort of thing and take no responsibility.
Xmas Rant
Rode LNCP to afternoon to burn off some Xmas cheer. The track is in the worst condition I have seen it in 7 years of riding there. I live in Marsfield across the road, I ride/train there at least once a week. JP probably the only one who has ridden here more.
Did you lose a seat bag on Long Trail, Terrey Hills
Looks like someone lost one of those small clip on under seat bags on Long Trail. If you want to claim it, it is at the far North end of Long trail near the lookout, sitting on top of the big boulder marking the end loop .
Any takers for Saturday AM rides (Cascades, along single track on Mona Vale, through Garigal, back into cascades = ~28Kms)
Any MTB riding groups doing ~25-30Km @ 2Hr-2.5hr XC with some sections of technical riding around the Davidson/Belrose/Oxford Falls areas ?
I'm keen to join a keen group for Saturday morning rides ?
Any takers ?
Down Hill Rider for photoshoot wanted
Hi guys,
I run a commercial photography studio and I'm looking to get some big shots around oxford falls for an application I want to lodge in to Redbull.
If anyone here is willing to take some big drops and would like to help me out in getting some awesome photos it would be great.
It would be a proper shoot with generators and lights etc so it is an opportunity that you wont get very often.
