BMORC Kurrajong MTB Park Day!!!
Hi all ye BMORC-ers,
I want to organise a BMORC day/half day out at Kurrajong MTB Park. For those of you who haven't been there the place is pretty cool with all sorts of riding to be done.
There is a wicked 4X track that has to be one of the best in the country.

A couple of nice flowy and smooth DH tracks that are ridable on XC bike with the seat down.
Some huge jumps of all sorts (if you're into that kinda thing)

And most importantly a cable to pull you back to the top off the hill 
It would be great to get maybe 10-20 people out there. Don't be shy if you only have an XC bike as I have seen people ride the DH track and actually have fun. Or you can always borrow my bike for a few runs.
We can even ask the guys to setup a dual slalom course for us on the grass, which is massive fun on any bike!!!
There is normally a charge, but I will try to pull some strings. I don't think it would be more then $20....
So let me know your thoughts and I will get in touch with the guys.

GIDDYUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a good day out, not bad videos.
I wouldn't be trying any jumps on my bike, but would love to check out the park.
Grass Slalom sounds fun, I could do that.
Even just to watch HEC and others would be good.
Count me in.
Hopefully no hospital trips for this ride.

Let me know where and when mate! I've wanted to ride Kurrajong for ages, but have never managed to pull it together some how.
I'd definitely be moving pretty much whatever plans I could, especially if it was a big group day!
Lot less interest then I expected, none the less if there is only 4-5 of us it would still be a great day. I'm gonna put this in the Calendar for the last weekend of August, hopefully that will be good for everyone. I've already talked to the Pylet boyz and they would be happy to see us up there.
Like I said, don't be put off if you only ride XC style trails, especially if you have ridden Mt York, as there is nothing at Kurrajong that is harder then Mt Yourk (ok maybe the 4x track and the Free Ride stuff), but even the 4x track is fun to ride with your seat down...
Again, this would be a great fun day to improve your skills and have a blast. BTW there is a pub literally 100m down the road where they serve an awesome lunch and beers.
Unfortunately that Sunday is about the worst one you could pick in the upcoming months! I'll be celebrating my decline into old age on Saturday the 28th, and hopefully won't be in any state to ride on the Sunday.
Hell, if I'm able to ride after my 30th I'll definitely have been far too soft, or already much further down the path than I expected
(Or, perhaps, far far harder & younger than I reckon 
)
40 is the new 30!
@Isildur,
So the inevitable march of time starting to close the gap on ya? Well lucky for you nothing is set in concrete. I simply picked a date so I can put it in the Calendar. Anyway didn't you say you'll move anything to make it to this ride?????
So I will move it to the weekend prior, hope that suits everyone.
I will definitely be a maybe for this, i might have a giant faith by this time, never the less, the epic should be o.k. for this, will give you an answer shortly Andrei!
I do believe i said "Pretty much" anything
There would be a lot of people a bit upset that I cancelled my party for a ride...
But the 21st sounds pretty good I think!
