St Helena Track

Thinking about giving St helena Track a go tomorrow morning quite early. Either take the train to Wentworth Falls and do the descent or ride up from Glenbrook to the turnoff. I've never done it before but looks like good fun if anyone is interested in tackling it a bit damp. Speed at a reasonable pace - maybe 90mins from Glenbrook to Woodville as a guide. Tired of the rain so going to ignore it.

Mount Banks

Has anybody ever ride around there?

I spot from Google Earth trails going off the road, are they single tracks we could ride on (point 1 and 2)?
It look the road (Mount Banks Road) is going for ever…

Check on Google Maps, My Maps, pointed what I'm talking about.

See also point 5, looks like something is continuing at the end of that road.

Around Blackheath

Hello,

I'm going to Blackheath next week-end, and I'm trying to find something descent to ride around.
Before you think, if I can avoid a track that is only fire-trails – I will be happy… but I can make exemptions.

Narrowneck look to be one of a fire-trail only…
Mount York sounds an interesting one.
Mount Hay sounds not a good idea… from what I've asked already

Anything else to suggest? or somewhere to look at?

Cheers

[LOST] Blackburn Multitool on Oaks Singletrack

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Not sure were to post this but I lost a Blackburn Toolmanator 2 this morning (26th Sep), probably on the Oaks singletrack.

I would love to get it back so if anyone finds it I will offer a reward.

Cheers.

First time at the Oaks (Woodford to Glenbrook) - Am I going to get lost?

Hello all, I'm very pleased to report I'll be doing Woodford to Glenbrook for my first time ever tomorrow.

I'm chomping at the bit to get going and have even dug out my special riding pants.

I'm just a little nervous at getting lost on the trail. Is it fairly well signposted on the trail or am I likely to get lost?

I've had a look on this site and the FatHippy's but I think I probably need an idiots guide.

Bell's line to Wolgan Valley

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Morning all,

Planning on a camping and climbing trip to the wolgan valley some time soon. Driving up from Sydney I thought it might be possible to jump out of the car with the bike somewhere near the zig zag railway on the Bell's line and ride down to the Wolgan Valley camp area and meet the guys in the car there.

Mount Hay (Butterfix) ride

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi guys,

Looking for some good rides around Sydney, I've google pretty much a lot and find a nice ride on outdated website called trailfix.com.au.

The ride is called on that website 'Buttefix', but I would call it more Mount Hay.

I've trace the trail on Google Earth, check it here on Google Map: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&...
