Riding around Orange after Christmas
I am heading out to Condobolin for Christmas with my wife's family. I was thinking about doing some riding around Orange the day after boxing day.
I have only ever driven through Orange and have no idea where is best to ride.
I will be on a 4inch XC bike.
Can anyone give me some pointers as where might be best to ride??
Thanks in advance!

Ourimbah this weekend
Looking for some local knowledge as to how the XC trails at Ourimbah have held up with all this rain? I'm hoping to come up from Sydney for a ride tomorrow, I know it normally drains really well there but just thought I'd check given the heavy and constant rain down here.

Bright
hi all,
heading to Bright for holidays soon. Apparently the riding is amazing and there's about 50ks worth of single track around town.
Does anyone know where to find a trail map? I've had a look around the web and the usual sites but couldn't find anything.
Thanks
