Sparrow Hill Kings hwy
For anyone who is interested , I rode Sparrow Hill this weekend. 26th April.
Last time I was there would have been over 3 years ago- when they had just started all the tree clearing for the Kings hwy deviation- i remember at the time it was quite sad to see so much of the forest cleared.
Well now the Kings hwy runs right through the middle of it! About 300metres from the start where the first fence used to be is where it runs through- there are several tunnels that pass under to allow riders to access the other side.

Stromlo / Capital Punishment Advice Needed
The only time I have ridden at Stromlo was during last year's Capital Punishment, and I was a bit slow on the final descent. I'll be at Stromlo this weekend but only for about 2 hours... Can anyone give me advice on the best loop to ride to prepare for Capital Punishment 2013? I'm doing the 50km, and as far as I know they haven't announced the route yet. But it's generally my descending skills I want to work on, so any advice on how I can best spend my time there would be welcome.
Kowan Forest trails
Hi, I was just wondering as I was heading down to Canberra next weekend if there was a way to get to the trail area featured in the Mont. As far as I am aware you are unable to reach the trail going through the paddock which was the Mont camping area. Thanks
Lost wedding Ring at Stromlo
Hi all, I lost my wedding ring last Saturday (05 May) while riding Mt Stromlo. I think it happened when I removed my gloves in the car park. I have had a good look around but it's nowhere near where we were parked. Obviously it has great sentimental value so if anyone picked it up please please get in touch with me. It is a tungsten carbide ring with a pattern of notches along each edge (see picture). Thanks.

Some of our ride from the weekend trip.
Benj and Ethan swapped bikes, Ethan not having ridden a dually before and Benj (wearing the camera) wanting a refresher on what a hardtail was like. This is part of the result:
ACT Conditions
Any Canberrans able to advise conditions for Stromlo and Majura? I'm there there tomorrow and just wondering if the recent Sydney weather reached that far.
Cheers
Stromlo xc trail condition?
Heading down to Stromlo at the end of October. Just wondering what the condition of the trails are like presently. Some trail footage from the Scott 24 looked like it was washed out a little in places. Any update appreciated. Cheers Ecca
