Nelsons Bay?
Hello everybody going to nelsons bay for a few days and was wondering if there were any decent rides over there. Thanks

Great Northern Road
Does anyone the distance starting at the ferry, up Devine's Hill, GNR to Clare's bridge and return via Western Commission track to the ferry?

GNR roundtrip suggestions
Some advice please... Would like to plan a ride from Wisemans Ferry to Mogo Creek Rd Junction along the GNR.
(Dont know the area very well)
Is it feasable to drive 2 vehicles to Mogo Creek Rd/GNR junction (say to Mogo camp & picnic area) leave one vehicle there and drive back to Wisemans Ferry & leave the other vehicle there.
This way we would only ride one way.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Graham

The Central Coast track DB : calling all Central Coast Garmin owners!
I am currently in the process of combining every central coast GPS track that I can find into one large GPX file. (But keeping the tracks seperated). I do this for several reasons : a nice easy reference to open and peruse in Mapsource, and a useful way of editing together rides for here on the coast. Perhaps there's an easier way to do this but I find setting them up this way very useful for my local trip planning and ride creation. If ANYONE has extra tracks that could be added into this collection can you please post them up or send them to me for inclusion.

Awaba Pump Track
Work has begun on the new Awaba Pump Track. The following pictures are from the start of the first section of the track. Once these have packed in nice and hard, additional more technical lines will be added.

Need ideas for trails around St Albans
I'm off to St Albans with a few friends at the weekend and looking for recommendations as to which local trails to ride. Currently thinking about doing Great Northern Road combined with Western Commission Track. This is my preference having done the Dirt Works but it may be a bit too much for the others although they are all fit just not used to mountain biking. Does anyone know of any other trails that will take approx 2 to 3 hours and still offer a bit of a challenge? Is it possible to ride the last section of the Dirt Works trail which starts with the 2nd of the big climbs?

Ourimbah: Carpool available for next Saturday
Carpool available to Ourimbah for next Saturday's ride. 2 spare spaces on rack.
Leaving Lindfield / Chatswood area around 8:30 am. Arrive 9:45 am.
Call or PM me if interested.
Rgds, Hans

Ride around Colo Heights/ Putty
Has anyone ridden any of the trails up in the Colo Heights/Putty area?
Mainly looking at the commission trail, culoul fire trail and the Womerah range trail (coming in from the Putty rd.
I was thinking of doing a loop of the commission trail, hunter main, howes valley then kindarun trails at putty. Or, I'm thinking a ride down the womerah to St albans, stay the night then ride back the next day. Looks to be a big ride though.
