I am not sure if the trails will be dry enough. Has anyone been there lately?

Would like to do the same loop as last week but starting on the other side. Start through the small NS stuff, go until the top of the downhill and back.

I am sure that if by myself i will get lost and will use the GPS to come back though Smiling

Red Hill repeat

When: 
Saturday, 6 March, 2010 - 08:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Red Hill
Meeting Point: 

Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.

-33.744534, 151.255780 (Red Hill Carpark)

I'm looking to do a repeat of the Red Hill ride we did last Saturday. We'll attempt to cover all of the main trails up there as well as anything else of interest, the main ride will be basically this :

Main trail -> single track -> rim ride -> down to the sports centre -> back up the sand pit -> across the top -> downhill track -> along the parkway -> back up the 4wd track to the top -> main trail back to the start.

All of this is entirely rideable and the downhill track has A,B,C,D lines so, yes you CAN ride it on almost anything.

I will be riding the Dam trail this evening for this first time since the ban.

A tour of the hill for anyone that's up for it.

Its not a Downhill ride, nor is it an XC ride.. lets just call it a technical ride

Planning about a 15K ride, no real need for armor, I don't wear it (famous last words?) but of course your more than welcome to wear it as there will be plenty of opportunities to go crazy ( if your into that kinda thang ).. you just gotta be prepared to wear it for some uphill as well.
