Mogo State Forest

I'm planning to head over to Bateman's Bay over this Xmas period, I believe the 27/28/29th of December (and then on to the Snowies), home to the famous Mogo State Forest, that, according to the Nobmob page, has "miles and miles of the sweetest singletrack you'll ever find," and I have it on good authority from many people that this is a place well worth exploring, so looking forward to jumping down.

Broken Hill

I had a good ride around the Broken Hill MTB Park this morning, congrats to the local trail builders, it's a lot of fun, thanks.

Don't be an ass - stay off Engravings Track

The sign says it all. If we keep riding the Engravings Track at Bantry Bay we ain't gonna get any more.

Don't be an ass. Stay the hell away and enjoy the other tracks they spent $800k building *just for us* - Gahnia and Serrata.

But if that's how you roll, remember to smile for the camera.

Because when the approval gets revoked and the trail pulled out because you just can't help yourself, you're gonna have tens of thousands of angry mountain bikers coming for you to get an "explanation".

hey guys
I am currently planning a MTB trip from wednesday 23rd Sept to Sunday 27th, the plan is to drive south to Mogo State Forest, across to Canberra then back to Sydney.
I am looking for places to ride as we stop along the way, mainly XC courses or places that will be fun!
so far the list i have compiled is:

Nowra trails (coondoo, butterfly and superbowl) (wednesday)
Mogo State Forest (thursday AM)
Canberra (have ridden East Cowen, Stromlo, Bruce Ridge etc... so don't need any more there!)
Majura Pines (friday PM)
Welby (saturday AM)
Wingello (saturday PM)

The Australian and NSW governments are proposing to build a new motorway as part of the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan (WSIP)

I contacted the Parklands last week asking what is the likelihood the m12 will affect Wylde but have yet to receive a response.

North Haven/Bonny Hills

I've been riding the trails in and around North Haven and Bonny Hills this week and I'd just like to say thanks to all the local trails builders for their efforts, there are some really good trails about the place.

Also a plus one for the Laurieton Specialized store, they have helped me out a couple of times now and the service has been first rate.

Awaba Track open again?

Hi guys
I was planning to head over to Awaba for a ride on Sunday, however I'm not sure if the track has been re-open or not.

Any feedback would be much appreciated since I come from Dungog and don't want to arrive and find it to be closed.

Regards

The weekly recurring question

I'll post the weekly recurring question this week.

Anywhere dry enough in the Sydney vicinity to get some dirt on my rubber this weekend?

Any up to date local track status report will be most welcomed.

Cheers,
Staffan

Yet to visit Awaba and keen to know if it is more like Mt Stromlo in Canberra or Kowen Forest just out of Canberra - Thanks in advance for any members able to give me the tip.
