From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)
Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park
I'm heading out to Rydal Saturday around 2, I'll be scoping out another option for the mini DH/enduro races
Feel free to join me or bring some tools and do a bit of clean up/raking on the xc loop ahead of the 3hr.

Good news folks,
Its time to stick the lipstick and eyeliner on... the new track that is. Council has kindly secured some trees for us to be planted out on the new Lake Canobolas MTB Park.
So if you are keen to lend a hand and want to drink from the cup of uberfeelgoodness, come along on 1pm Saturday 8th November to get your hands dirty - you can always wash up afterwards!.
We will put on a BBQ so bring your bikes and your kids (not your dog) for a fun afternoon.
We are expecting to have around 120 trees so many hands make light work.
What to bring:
long sleeves, broad brim hat, sunscreen decent boots/shoes, water.
Spades, mattocks, rakes, mallets for the stakes, watering cans maybe some wheelbarrows.
So if you haven't had a chance to get involved so far please come along an join in the fun!
