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.

I can't get out of a Tuesday for a couple of weeks so going to do a few Wednesday nights instead

Winter Series

We'll be riding this track
http://ctmbc.net/node/14865

and looking for best suggestions to name it

Cross country will take place in the morning. we'll need help timing XC and setting up for the DH.
If you turn up at the DH area and we're running late and quick rake of the trail would be nice.
also if someone could pick up the cables from the XC area and get them run out while you are waiting it will make things easier.

Thinking the insulating properties of the pine trees will come in handy for this one.

Well it's officially official

While we have been given various time lines for logging at Lidsdale in the past today I got the official letter from the harvesting manager. Come Spring 2011 the twisting joy of Lidsdale single trail will be replaced by a naked hill criss crossed with the catapillar tracks of the logging machines.

Our current yearly SPP runs out in January and will not be renewed. No event will be approved at that site from Easter....

On the Up side they are happy for us to negotiate a new area. Keep those line scoping eyes open and digging shoes at the ready
