Glenrock Shimano MTB GP
With the upcoming race at Glenrock will there be any prior trail maintenance and post event repairs carried out?
Also, does anyone know the likely track that will be used?
Boring training alone
Hi everyone, i'm fairly new to MTB but come from a triathlon and road racing background.
I guess i'm looking for people to train with occassionly as i work shifts and i'm on a difficult shift pattern. I ride between 80-220kms a week mostly road and always on my MTB, i've decided i would be tackling port to port in 2016 and now i'm doing some more dirt and trying to get some technical skill in the bush, i live in Lake Macquarie and keen to ride so PM me if your looking to go for a ride and you don't mind someone new tagging along.
Glenrock trail
Just wondering how much rain glenrock recieved over the weekend and now quickly it dries out. Given tomorrow, Monday is 22 degrees and sunny, thought I would ride there in the afternoon but not if I was going to cause damage.
New rider
Hi Everyone,
My name is Marc and I am fairly new to this sport and looking for others to join in with on future rides.
Although new to this style of riding I am fairly comfortable on a bike and reasonably fit so I shouldn't slow you down too much!
Let me know if you are interested in taking on a newbie.
Am happy to travel as well
Cheers. Marc
Link Road bushland
Does anyone here have any maps of the bushland adjacent to the Newcastle link road, on the left heading out of Newy? Went for a sweet ride through there today, there's obviously a lot of moto and 4WD stuff but there's plenty of fun to be had on the motorless bike!
Is there much on the Wallsend side of the link road? Looking on Google maps, theres a ton of space over there. Better put my explorer hat on again..
Green Point - node and land use status...?
Went out to Green Point last weekend for the first time and found it was a lot of fun. However had no idea where I was going most of the time and wasn't able to find a decent map of the trails before or after.
Having had a look thru the older forums, there has been some discussion previously about checking with council about using Green Point. Was that ever done as I can't see any updates since that discussion? From what I can tell, Lake Macquarie City Council would appear to encourage its use for cycling but there is nothing specific I could find about use by mountain bikers.
Medowie conditions?
Wondering how wet the Medowie track is? Cheers!

Killingworth trail condition report
I spent some time today walking the Killi trails with the chainsaw clearing fallen trees and re opening the trails. I managed to walk almost all of the KILLIKAZE loop and have cleared nearly all of the trails on the lower side of the carpark. Whilst most of the trails are now free of blockages, they are not in very good condition. There has been a lot of water erosion and it is very wet underfoot. Some of the creek crossings are still covered in 3 feet of water and have been severely damaged.
