Motor bike loops a bit of a mess with deadfall and ruts at the moment
This one was tough. All the hills normally doable but the first bit of single trail is all but unrideable due to dead fall meaning I was off pushing far more than I would have liked
Mitchells Way - Gum Ridge loop
From the bottom of Mitchell's Way we climbed up to Gum Ridge then back through the pines.
Glenbrook Coathanger (Euroka+Oaks)
Oaks (Up), Iron Barks(Down), Bennetts Ridge(up), Oaks(up), Oaks Single(down)
Start at the Glenbrook Ranger station and follow the oaks upto Iron Barks Picnic Area. Ride down into Euroka Clearing. Take a right and follow Bennetts Ridge Firetrail back onto the oaks. Continue riding up the oaks to the gate. Return to the Ranger station via the Oaks single track.

Wang to mt lambie via rydal
A nice way to start a saturday morning
Big thanks to Glenn for pushing me to do this one.
We started at lake Wallace and worked out way up past what's left of Lidsdale pine forest then followed a mixture of the train line and the bicentennial trail across towards Rydal, hooking up a loop of the Rydal short course on the way
From Rydal we worked our way up the coach rd through Bonaventure. The road easement is public but it crosses private property and there are several gates, please respect the land owners by closing gates and staying on the trail.
Town Houses
A Nice loop up Hassans Walls, Across the main road, out toward Bracies Lookout and then dropping down the fast Town Houses single trail
Head on up Hassans Wall rd at the top take the left fork. A couple of fast downs and slower ups takes you across the top of the reserve on the main fire road.
You can either take the left turn toward Braceys Lookout or continue down for 300 meter and take the left into an obscure/overgrown road then reverse back up the Ewok trail to link up with the Braceys rd halfway along.
Kanagra-Boyd by Fire Trail
An easy (though long) loop through some of the fire/management trails of Kanangra-Boyd.
Although this is quiet a long ride, it's technically easy as is pretty much 100% fire trail.
Start/finish in the carpark by the famous walls lookout. You notice from the profile that there's a climb back up the road from where you came, but this isn't as steep as it looks. Then take a left off the 'main' (if you can call it that) road and head North on Morong Creek/Kowmung River Fire Trail. You'll come back out on the road before being able to head South on Boyd River Fire Trail which joins back up with your original route.
Oaks one way + Pisgah Rock
Standard one way route with Pisgah Rock tagged on (turn right at the gate for an out and back).
Pisgah rock makes a nice and little used add on to the usual Oaks ride. Nice view at the end...
The Oaks - One Way
Classic Oaks route from Woodford to Glenbrook station via firetrail then sniggle and technical sections at the end.
This profile is a little deceptive because after climbing out to the rangers gate I turned round and went back down and across the causeway to meet the rest of the group. If you don't do that knock probably 100m and a few Km of the stats above.
