When: 
Tuesday, 5 October, 2010 - 18:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Lidsdale State Forest
Meeting Point: 

From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. 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.

Live Well Lithgow is a joint initiative between Sydney West Health and Lithgow City council to promote healthy living to our residents.

We're happy to be pitching in with weekly Tuesday night races at our Lidsdale state forest venue.

All riders are welcome. Entries cost $5 + license fees (day licenses are available for $15)

Lights are essential and we recommend at least a 5w halogen equivalent.

Laps consist of 3 to 5km loops and we will try and use a few different loops throughout the series and riders have the option of completing 1 to 6 laps

Knapsack DH Jumping

A variety of tracks with a mix of firetrail and technical single track. Currently a bit of a maze which allows for creating your own loop.

Also includes a legal DH Track.

Cox's Alternate Junction

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Three distinct routes from the Mt York peninsular to Hartley Valley below - two single track and a third fire trail make for a few combinations with one thing in common - the 250 vertical metre drop. This is steep, and on occasion, very tricky stuff.
