Oaks + Singles

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Rode the Oaks fire trail for the second time ever today. The few minutes of down hill fun is worth the climb. We did the singles as well, the first single is fairly straight but fun, the newish section is even more fun!!! Few nice obstacles too!

Hazelbrook - Blue Mtns

Hi can anyone tell me where the entry point to the single track section in Hazelbrook is? Is it fairly easy to find one's way around without getting too lost? Is the trail in good condition?

I've seen the section down to the dam, which I think is another ride.

I've got a group of varied ability teenagers going with me and wanted to pick a trail up there that would be a good all round trail and some fun.

Apparently there is also a bike hire place nearby, anyone know the name of it?

Cheers

Hey guys,

I am in the area (staying Lithgow) for a few days while travelling around Oz with my family. Looking to get out and see some mtb trails in the area - preferably with some locals. I've looked online and can see there is plenty around, but would love to hook up with some locals for some riding. Only have my hardtail bike, so full on DH is probably not on the agenda, but I'm keen to go check out all sorts of stuff that is on offer. I didn't bring lights with me on the trip (packing as light as possible - still got way too much stuff) so night rides are out too.

Missing person

One of my best mates has gone missing, he went missing around lunch on tuesday so if anyone has seen him since please let the police know. His last known location was Mount riverview and he was on foot, we are very concerned because of his mental state of late. You might know him because he has been a barista in the mountains for a long time

Never done downhill biking before just finished building my rig and now I'm looking to tear it up.

I live in the city in centennial park area and I would love to know how to get there without a car because my bike does not fit lol

Also do I need to buy gear like armour and such? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Oaks distances

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Does anyone know the rough distances for the Oaks fire trail from the causeway up to the gate at the start of the single track, both height gained and distance travelled would be great, and then also the length of the single track from the gate back down to the end where it spits you onto the road at the hairpin above the causeway?

Many thanks

I'm staying in Oberon for the weekend in just over a months time and was going to take the bike.
What trails are there in the area?

The Oaks Creek

Has anyone been up round the Oaks over the last while? Was hoping to get out this weekend but I imagine it's closed and the creek uncrossable with all this rain??
