Due to track work the trains are leaving 30 minute later then the time table. This puts the train leaving Glenbrook at 8:53 and arriving around 9:23am at Woodford.

***This is also only on if the trail is re-opened for tomorrow as currently it is closed due to back burning.***

Edit: Just checked http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/... and The Oaks is no longer closed.

It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.

As discussed... some fun laps with no particular pace or course in mind.

There should be time to re-group at the sniggle exits or technical sections, and time to play/practice on any techie stuff we come across.

See you there!
