Come Rain or Shine: 
If it's raining, I won't be there.
Ride Database Entry: 
Kinross State Forest
Meeting Point: 

The city of Orange is around 4 hrs from Sydney and 3 hrs from Canberra. Kinross State Forest is situated on the northeast edge of town, a 10 minute drive or 20 minute ride from the Orange town centre.

Meet at the Bulgas Road carpark, Western edge of the forest.

Drive out from Orange on the Ophir Rd, before you reach the rubbish tip, turn right onto Bulgas Rd. Follow this about 2km to the forest (the road turns to gravel).

Note that the 'Directions there' google maps link below may not give the best route/destination. It seems that google maps ignores Bulgas Rd when selecting a route and gives the next closest spot. The 'Meeting point' link should be correct.

Details:

I'm going for a ride...was going to check out some DH type tracks around Canobolas and/or do some riding around Kinross, I'm yet to explore all the tracks. Would be more fun with others.

So I take it you're keen to have a guide?

I can't make Saturday but can give you info. Are you on a DH bike or all mountain or have a choice?

There's no actual DH tracks at Kinross, though some gnarly mainly DH runs. There are some unofficial tracks at Canobolas (just east of Mitchell's Way) that are in the DH category.

A guide would be good, I've been going off the map and my phone GPS.

I heard about the DH tracks near Canobolas last weekend, but after exploring some of Kinross for 2-3 hours, I was too stuffed to go and check out the trails in Canobolas.

chunderfuzz,

I am heading out to Canobolas for a ride on Saturday afternoon, at 3:00 for a ride taking in some of the DH tracks. If you're interested, meet us at Lidster Fire Bushfire Station (off Cargo Road, near Boree Creek). cheers, mick.
