Rubbish Clean Up Day - Kinross Forest

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
When: 
Sunday, 17 November, 2013 - 10:00
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.

We want to clear the forest of some of the rubbish that has been dumped ready for the STM race. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

We will be collecting rubbish from various places around the forest and taking it to the car park to place in a skip that forestry is hopefully providing for us. (If a skip is not forthcoming then we will probably be taking it to the tip ourselves).

What to bring:
- ute/trailer if you have one
- muscles
- gloves
- sturdy protective boots
- good protective shirt/pants
- hat/sunscreen etc
- utes/trailers if possible
- sturdy bags if you have some for the small stuff (I'll bring some old chook food bags)
- rakes can sometimes be useful
- lots of energy
- a bike if you are keen for a ride after

Have a think about where you have seen rubbish around the forest that we need to collect so we don't have to waste time searching for it.

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.

Rydal
Meeting Point: 

The main rd in has been dusty as all get up so in an effort to keep on the good side of the locals it might be best to come in via the showground.

From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)

Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park

This Is my last chance to do some trail work on a weekend before the next 3hr

I want to do a bit of stuff to the trail on Ans Pants near the car park/ rollers Would love a few hands to help make light work of it.

Late notice yes but I want to take advantage of this weather. I have never ridden this track so first lap may be a bit slower than the rest. I need to get some km's in the legs so looking to do a few laps. I am by no means an elite rider but not a beginner either. I will be leaving Cherrybrook about 12:45. PM me if you need a lift I can take one more person

Lots of ups and downs.
Donnybrook involves some highway riding on the way back so make sure you have a rear light too
