Just Beautiful
Standing on one of the many causeways, I felt this view needed to be captured.
Nepean River View
This is an amazing view, the only thing that ruins it is the quarry on the other side.
The Gate
At the end of Riverview Rd you will find this gate which is the start off the trail so to speak. The Pavement only runs to top of the hill. A key Note to remember is for the return trip. Allot off speed can be gained coming back down and the last thing you want to be doing here is a superman impersonation.
Fire Trail running parallel to the Nepean River from Emu Heights to Yellomundee Regional Park.
Not for Beginners
Mt York, all of it
that was a lot more than expected.
I figured it might be long, it wasn't as long as thought, but plenty long enough.
9am to 5pm is a long day in the saddle.
28kms, two descents, two ascents.
Up Lockyers when you wanted to be up Lawsons was a tad bumma.
But down Lawsons was fun and it eased the hurt.
Sniggling a trail along Lockyers and being too close to see the trail made me go wide on a rock which put me in the loose stuff on the next corner which had me face down in the trail going hmmm.
Merritts Climb
Fancy riding just over 300m vertical in around 2Km distance? Ouchie!

Lockyers Sniggle
Not much room for error - as Rob found out later... doh! 
Cox's Alternate Junction
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.
