Awaba XC Length
"8 for 3.9km (14%)"
http://nobmob.com/rides/awabastateforest
I think it could be 6-7k now? Anybody know the length of Awaba now?
Dungog Pedalfest (Hunter Valley: 10th to 12th September)
Worth a trip to the Hunter Valley in Spring! Great initiative, now in it's 15th Year!
A cyclist's fest with all kinds of rides: road, historic, family, and MTB,
...including the Dungog Common Creek MTB SingleTrack Circuit!
Glenrock riding direction?
Is there an accepted direction to ride in Glenrock?, is it clockwise ? or just a free for all & ride with ears wide open & a fingers hovering over brake levers just in case to miss a head on crash?
Shock pump needed! Sunday at Awaba.
I wanted to let a 'little' air out of my rear shock, and I let out too much. Not happy.
I don't have a shock pump. I'm super keen for a trip to Awaba tomorrow morning (Sunday morning). Anybody going? Can someone please bring their pump?
See 'rides' for more details. I'm keen to do around 50km or more. Reply to this message if you can help me out! Thanks. - Chris.

Riding after rain screws the trails
Just a little example of what riding during and after rain does to the trails. I have attached 2 pics. The 1st is a shot of a section of trail that has seen heavy usage after recent rain. It is a pretty lazy corner that has seen heeeaaappss of riders through. It is very rutted and blown out now. It will need a good half day of rock armoring to survive the long haul.
the 2nd pic is taken of a very similar corner. It is on a section of trail that isn't seeing much traffic as a result of the works on the sewage plant. There is evidence of 2 bikes going through.
