Clean-up Australia Day 4th March - Oxford Falls
Guys,
We love our tracks and work hard to keep them great.
On the March the 4th, help us doing a little garbage cleaning on the Oxy downhill tracks and the road (Morgan Rd) back up.
If you can make it on Sunday the 4th it would be great, but if not, perhaps you can help by taking a little of the litter home with you when you ride the area.

Mt Buller extra long weekend away Feb 29 to Mar 4
Greetings all,
I have recently been emailing some friends looking at heading down to Mt Buller, leaving Wednesday arvo Feb 29th and arriving home Sunday evening Mar 4th. The drive each way is about 9 hours. I thought I would at least make the offer to anyone that wants to go too. All comers are welcome.
A New Hope
An epic edit by Scotty T
5 years ago the Central Tablelands Mountain Bike Club lost the lease on their downhill track up at the State Mine Reserve in Lithgow. This track was a part of both the NSW State Downhill Series and the Australian National Downhill Series. Since then the club has battled through thick and thin trying to find an area suitable to hold both State and National races again. Continued in first comment..
Self filmed
Picked up this frame a while ago but as I hadn't had time for DH of late it's been collecting dust.
Last week I had a bit of spare time so thought I'd build it up with parts off my old Norco in the hopes it would inspire me to get back into it.
Here's my first test ride with some self shot footage using the contour 1080p taped to trees or set up on the back of the ute and stuff.

The verdict?
Red Hill Downhill/Freeride track location?
Hey guys,
Just wanted to know which track at Red Hill is the best for downhill/freeride? Like one with drops, wooden ramps etc?
I've seen photos of them but I don't know where they are exactly and i've only ever been to Red Hill dirt jumps.
Can you please tell me the track name which is listed on nobmob and also let me know which road i should enter the track from.
Cheers
Blake

Morgan Road, Belrose. At the second 90 degree right hand bend in the road. There's an area just before you can park and a firetrail heading off to the left.... i guess. if anyone wants to change this we can accommodate.

Ourimbah DH ride day Sunday 13 Feb 2011
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
CCOMTB will be holding a Downhill social ride day on Sunday 13 February at Ourimbah.
This will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to have a go at downhill, but who isn't sure if they want to race. For more experienced riders it's a good training day to limber up for the season, and to show off that new race kit that Santa brought you.
