Hi all,
Just wondering what the night time spider population is like in Glenrock at the moment.
Normally I wait till the cooler months but the way the temp has been lately I think nights may be the way to go.
cheers

Looking for someone to ride with

Hi,
I'm pretty new to the area and I'd like someone to ride with. I have a downhill and x-country. I am 15. My mum rides but she can't always go with me.

Could anyone from Dungog give an update on the common? Has there been much rain up that way?

Dog Friendly?

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

Hi All

I am heading up near the Wattagans to do a bit of camping.

I was thinking about doing some mountain biking at Awaba while in the area.

We will have our dog with us and I was wondering if dogs are allowed on the track?

He is well trained and usually runs with me in Sydney.

Cheers guys.

Weekend at Pokolbin

Does anyone have any recommendations for tracks close to Pokolbin?

One Day in the Hunter

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

Hi,
I'll have one day in the Hunter, this coming Sunday.

Any recommendations for a trail to ride? Something XC, don't mind a few hills, looking for somewhere I can work up a sweat, maybe about 30-45kms, (laps are OK if necessary).

I'll be riding in the MTBGP @ Singleton on Saturday, so just want to sample something else while I'm around.

I was sort of interested in the James Estate trail, just because I have heard of it, I'll be staying close to Singletone, but don't mind driving.

Thanks,
G.

Awaba to Cooranbong

Can anyone tell me where the single track from Awaba to Cooranbong starts exactly?

The Port to Port Stage 3 uses this track, they do a lap of the awaba mountain bike park, ride up Mt Faulk Rd, then apparently ride more single track back down the mountain to end up at cooranbong.

Did anyone do this stage last year who can tell me where the trail head is? Pretty keen to check it out before the race.
