School Holiday Oaks Ride
I'm thinking about doing the Oaks Trail including the singletrack bit at the end some time this week, as I've taken the school holidays off work to spend with the kids. My teenager is keen to join.
Wondering if there are any other parents who might like to do a ride with their kids, including - hopefully - a local who can show us the way as I've not done it before.
St Helenas
Has anybody ridden it lately ... is it an overgrown mess ... with large sections of graded sand pits at the start.
Is the exit easier to follow ... Its been a while since I've ridden it ... last time with Joey and Rod. Thought I'd start thinking about a revisit.

Mitchells Pass Riders BEWARE DANGER!!!
All,
I just went for a lap of Mitchells Pass to discover that the two big boulders have been moved to the side of the road, but just pass them (~20m) where the road opens up at Garry Payne corner, steel gates have been placed across the road. Although there was only one gate being cemented in today it wont be long before the second appears.
Spread the word as this is a dangerous issue for riders coming down the hill at speed, especially at night time. We dont want a second death on this road.
We can say good bye to PB's up the hill also.

Tenative Andoaks + Knapsack Ride, Sun 16th Jan
Hoping to schedule a cemented Anderson's + Oaks ride, finishing at Knapsack reserve on this day departing Lapstone train station (to beat the Glenbrook crowd). Please comment if interested.
AndOaks over New Years?
I'm home between Dec 31st and Jan 3rd inclusive and am hoping to ride Anderson's and Oaks during that time period. I've considered hitting St Helena as well as I haven't done that one before.
Since Knapsack Reserve is open now, the idea of riding around there is a possibility after spending a fortune at Glenbrook Cake store at the end of the huge climb at the end of the Oaks.
Any takers at the moment?
6 Foot Track trip
Depart Blackheath 8:00am on Megalong Valley road. Descend through rainforest to valley floor to farmland and forest. Great views of cliffs to the east. Turn right onto 6’ track after crossing Megalong creek. Fire road for a few k’s then turn onto single track across farmland, a few cows to negotiate and fences to climb over. Undulating single track through to forest, watch out for many cow pads make sure you ride up front. Single track through forest above river valley, spider webs, make sure you ride at back. A few technical sections and steps and gates. Get to swing bridge.
Six Foot track, Blue Mountains
Hi Mobbers, planning a trip on 6 ft track leave Blackheath, overnight at Caves House and back. Anyone done this? I did it about 15 years ago and stuck to fire road, other than the single track into the river (bushwalking track). I have heard that you can turn right about 1km up from caves house and takes bike in?. Anybody got some info on this?
Cheers.
Berghoffers
The RTA are using the main parking area at the bottom of Victoria Pass as a stockpile site, probably for the duration of the roadworks through Hartley. Approx 30yrs. There is a small parking area 300m back towards Lithgow, and another small car park at the bottom of Berghoffers but you might get parked in by a broken down truck.
