Mt Annan

Morning all

To those of you that ride Mt Annan on a regular basis is there a loop that can be done that would be great for a first time rider?

I would really like my girlfriend to get into mountain biking but given Mt Annan may be her first off road ride its probably going to be a bit of a struggle. IIRC its fairly hilly and a pretty decent workout for even the more seasoned riders.

Best bike for Mount Annan

I'm off to Mount Annan tomorrow for the first time. Am I better off taking my Enduro or my Flash 29HT?

Mount Annan lap distance confusion

Hi,

According to the Mt Annan enduro trail map at http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_f... the full lap of the trail is 4+3=7km. However, looking at the results of the Round 3 Shimano MTB GP and calculating the distance from my average speed and time the lap comes to 12km. Have they made a mistake with the average speed calculation or is it actually 12km? Would be good to know whether I did X or 12/7*X km...

Mount Annan for Kids?

Can someone tell me if the "Competent" trail at Mount Annan is ok for a 5yo who is confident on their bike (good on bmx and pump tracks) but is only on 16" wheels?

Also, is the pump track open? I can't find anything about it on the official website.

Royal National Park

Hi
I am just wondering if there is a Legal way to ride a Mountain Bike between Audley Weir and the Visitor Center on Farnell Ave avoiding Audley road which is narrow and dangerous for a bike.

On Google Maps you can clearly see some large sections of Fire trail through the bush however the National Parks does not have this marked on their legal bike trails.

I would be nice to be able to ride Lady Carrington as part of a loop from Waterfall to Audley - Loftus - Heathcote and back to waterfall.

Thanks

Discovered this awesome hidden gem, a good alternative from Mt Annan which is not far. Check on Trailfix for further details: http://www.trailflix.com.au/tfx_new/trails.php?i...

Thanks to the 3 guys that picked me up on the trail and showed around (if you read it this; re the big crash, on Monday only, signs of a concussion came up… not massive said the doctor – but quite annoying).
