The Oaks update for 28 Jan

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Area: 
The Oaks
Status: 
Green/Open

Ridden 3x in January - in pretty good condition overall. Sandy in places, long & deep enough to catch out the unwary. Single track between the gate & the new realignment becoming overgrown - eye protection an absolute must. Realignment in excellent condition, only one corner towards the end is showing signs of a heavy cut being worn into it (no surprise given the natural speed & line of approach from the previous corner) otherwise has bedded in nicely, at its best a day or two after rain.

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.

First lap ever - borrowed 26" dually

Date:

Started doing a little MTB riding on my brother in laws 26" dually a few weeks ago and I thought I would test myself on Manly Dam. I'd seen the 'Hot Lap' board and was curious to measure myself as a complete beginner.

I was hoping for around the 35 minute mark, but I think I lost an absolute bucket load of time on each of the technical sections.

Next step, by some MTB shoes so my feet don't bounce off the pedals after every bump.

Wylde MTB Trail update for 22 Jan

Wylde MTB Trail
Status: 
Green/Open

Rode here this afternoon (a bit hot !). Track itself is in great condition with only a few damp patches and one big puddle near top of Hold On Valley.
The recent rain and warm weather is giving the weeds a big boost - they have grown tall and are encroaching on the track so much it narrows the line and hides the apexes and so changes the character of the track a bit (notable in first half). Lean into the weeds at the apex if you dare as the thistles are tall, strong and sharp.
There might be an angry 1.5m brown snake near Powerline Paddock - it was stretched across the track - I think I cleared it but I was not going back to find out.

Do you have more information?
