setting up a training goal.

Date:

11 Dec 11

Challenge:

Terry Hills - Centre track/Duck Hole - Loop

This loop is part of my regular training ride, so today I thought I would time this for a bit of extra effort on my ride.

Conditions were good, albeit a bit loose at the top of Duckholes hill. great morning to be out there on the bike.

Anyway my time was 00:33:11 which is a bit slower than what the times have been posted for doing this loop in the other direction. Not sure why, but give it a go. Would be great to see where I compare.

Terry Hills - Centre track/Duck Hole - Loop

Ride Database Entry:

Centre Track

Ride Database Entry:

Duck Hole/Terrey Hills Trail

Exact Distance:

11.7Km

Per the Terrey Hills - Duck Hole/Centre Track - Loop but in Reverse.

I.e Starting at National Park entrance head DOWN centre track, down west head road, turn right, head up to Duck Holes entrance, UP Duckholes until you get back to the top of National park entrance.

You can start anywhere along the circuit, I usually start the lap at the bottom of Duckholes as that's the direction I am generally coming from.

Not sure why but doing it this way seems slower then the other hot lap challenge. Good target is to get this sub 30.

Ourimbah State Forest

Amber/Some Issues

Went for a Giant ride day so first time at Ourimbah. Not sure how bad it should be before its red but it would be close - very muddy down low lots of large puddles and bogs

Do you have more information?

If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.

Petition AGAINST proposed MTB tracks in Garigal NP

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Just as a FYI, about an hour ago I popped in to the Forestville shops on my way further a field.

There was a lady there with a petition against the proposed MTB tracks in Garigal NP.

I didn't have much time as I had my mum waiting in the car but I stopped quickly and had a quick chat.

Her main concerns were destroying pristine native bush which had been this way for thousands of years and the fact once mountain bikes were allowed in, motorbikes would come in and create noise and be a fire hazard not to mention damage the tracks.

Trails shown on Google maps, how to get changed.

Is it possible to update the trail maps shown on Google maps & Google earth on NobMob?
Yesterday went for a ride at Terrey hills, & found that the trail marked to the South of the intersection of Cullamine Rd & Booralie Rd has no legal entry or exits.

145 & 147 Booralie Rd have placed private property signs at the Booralie Rd entrance, plus private property signs & gates exist at all the exits further South. The trail terminates at a 3m high electrified fence surrounding Waratah Park.

As it is no longer accessible, is it possible to remove the trail on Google maps & Google earth?
