Hey mate... welcome.
To everyone else... why are you lot so easy to bait in the forum? Just ignore it.
An Early Lap
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
A few people have expressed intrest in my early lap before meeting up with the main ride so here it is.
I am riding to the dam with Gavin and should be there in time to start at 6.15pm if you dont see us by 6.20 start without us and we will catch up. This lap will be a medium pace and will be the standard loop with the aim of getting around in time to meet up with the main ride there wont be any stopping except maybe to have a quick look at the new section.
This time was for the big loop
The track was dry. I didn't start out to go hard, but as you all know sometimes you just can't help it.
Capertee Challenge
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
The Capertee Challenge is back on! Stunning scenery, great trails!
Use your Mogo-trained legs to take on this great race through the worlds second largest enclosed valley!
This is a mountain bike event where you challenge yourself, the elements and the clock over two circuits of 52 kilometres each.
The course is set in the Capertee Valley, 180 kilometres west of Sydney , Australia, in a stunning area comprised of sandstone cliffs and abundant wildlife. There are some easy and some difficult sections on the course.
2008 World Champs Car Pool - Sydney to Canbera loners unite - Majura Pines ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Majura Pine Forest, off Majura Road.
For all those wanting to watch the World Champs 30th - 31st August but just don't have a crew to make it happen.
This is now 'locked in'
We will leave early Saturday morning (7am) and return Sunday night (9pm).
Bring your bike! for a ride Saturday morning. Majura Pines is an option, but there are also tracks next to the event that can be ridden. (might be a good option for people wanting to watch the XC)
Accomodation options are to either camp or find a reasonable and cheap motel/lodge/hostel
How to Identify and Grade Trails
Difficulty Rating
IMBA have a very nice page on grades of trail difficulty. It's handy to be familiar with this when trying to describe trails or to use as a guide when deciding if a particular trail is suitable for your skill level.
A summary table is this:
