Sunday, 2 July, 2017 - 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.

This is the trackwork session you don't want to miss, one word....Lumley’s!

We have the last round of our Summer 4hr Series on Sunday the 19th and we would like to use this trail. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the trail to the right part way in the climb out of Max's Bridge.

This trail hasn't been used for some time because of major erosion but we have plans to resurrect it, this is the biggest job we have attempted in a long time.
