Woodford to Glenbrook Classic 2014: 25 km Blue Mountains
Join the CareFlight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic 2014 and run or ride the Oaks Fire Trail through the beautiful Blue Mountains National Park from the town of Woodford down to the Euroka Clearing near Glenbrook.
Covering 25km of undulating bushland, the trail is incredibly scenic and a must for keen mountain bikers and trail runners. Participants are supported the full length of the track by Rural Fire Service crews stationed along the way, providing First Aid and drinks. A CareFlight doctor and St John Ambulance volunteers will also be in support.
Ridin' vs Running
With all the rain lately I've started to climb the walls and as a last resort I went back to the old habits and went for a run just to get get out there. The effect is severe leg ache the days after. I'm starting to think that running and riding uses quite different muscle groups and resorting to running might not be such a good substitute for ridig after all?
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about it? Is it good to combine or will running "eat" away on the rinding fitness or is running a good approach to keep the training going even when it is wet?
