Some good technical XC loops that follow along side of a creek.
XC loops range from 10ks to maybe 25ks
Also a few short free ride trails (but no shuttle access, so your pushing it back to the top)
Park oposite the nuclear reactor entrance on New Illawarra Rd,
The main trails start just down the gravel embankment on the western side of the road,
Watch out for dirtbikes, they wont give way...
2007 Half Fling
Well this was my first solo race effort (the Mont being my first race). My Fling experience seems to reflect a lot of the other fellow Nobmobbers! Let's start from the top.
Cramps - what I have learnt
Hey all, thought I would share a few years worth of experience with cramping and how it may be avoided.
We all know inadequate hydration is one culprit, but it is also worth noting excessive water will exacerbate it.
For me, I finish any event in hot (or in fact any) weather with a salt crusted helmet strap, pack straps and clothing - mute testimony to the amount of salts I am losing (but then I am a prolific sweater - paedophile on a school bus kinda thing) and how much I need to replace.
My full fling report...
Hey all! Was nice to see a few Nobmob jerseys around at the race! Didn't get a chance to meet up properly with anybody... I came late on Saturday with Raymov... I had a bit of a chat with Bruce on the ride, and thanks Shaun for the shout-out at the finish line 
Yeah, and was nice to have family waiting at the finish line.
Thanks to Caro for this photo....
