Awaba Ride Saturday 28th Sep
Anyone heading to Awaba tomorrow in lieu of Glenrock being closed?
I'm banned from riding by myself so if anyone else will be out there early tomorrow that would be great.
Looking to do some sub 40 min laps of the red xc track.
Cheers
New rider suggestions
Hey all,
My girlfriend and I made our way out to Glenrock recently and rode the beginners trail and seismic. We are new to the area and relatively new to mtb riding and wanted some suggestions for what tracks we should try out on Glenrock that are relatively beginner friendly but offer a challenge!
We both have relatively decent bikes (xc hardtails with rockshox/fox forks and the accompanying hardware that comes on bikes with such forks), so bikes can handle most tracks if they don't have drop offs (Not that we are confident to tackle any drop offs yet).
phone found in Wallaroo
Hi all,
Was riding in Wallaroo National Park yesterday and found a phone on a trail.
If it is yours, PM me with some details about the phone to prove it is yours.
It seems to be in working condition but I can't unlock the screen to try and learn who the phone belongs to. I reckon was lost on Sat 21st Sept.
Is a fair chance it belongs to a moto rider. If you know any that ride in Wallaroo let them know about this post.

Environmental damage to close part of Glenrock
In regard to the article on ABC News online, any idea of which trails will inaccessible?
A large section of Newcastle's Glenrock State Recreation area is set to be closed to bike riders, to reduce environmental damage.
Glenrock ranger Tiffany Knott says now that a two year, $80,000 upgrade of the mountain bike tracks in the northern section is nearing completion, the southern side will be closed to riders in coming weeks.
Ms Knott says it was decided to close illegal and ad-hoc tracks in a section of the park, where damage has occurred to waterways and local wildlife habitat.

What are the tracks around Leggy Point that will be closed?
And where is Elvis Rock?

Warners Bay Ride.
It has been a while since I have logged on here and I am glad there is now a Warners bay Ride section.
This is my local ride. Just a few minutes from my front door I enter the area from The bottom of EK Ave/Waratah Ave. Take the tunnel under Charlestown bypass and you end up beside Charlestown Gold Course.
The area has a mix of fire trail and single track. It can be rough and rutted in areas with some traffic from 4x4's and motor bikes. Ground varies with sandy gravel, rocky trails and is quite muddy after some rain.
Awaba or Glenrock for Easter ?
Hi All,
Just wanted some input or suggestions for the upcoming Easter holiday.
I will probably head up that way this Saturday for a day trip with the wife and kid and will probably have a couple of hours at most for a quick ride,
which of those 2 trails should I go to. They both have excellent reputation for being a great MTB trail network.
Are signs posted up on those 2 areas ?
Cheers,
Mario
