Woodford weather

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

While I was searching for more weather info before we went of for the Care Flight Oaks trail challeng I found this site.It seamed that the main weather web pages don't have a weather station but relied on springwood and katoomba.
If anyone is thinking of doing the oaks trail but want true weather this seams like a good tool.
enjoy

take care after all this wind

just a quick reminder to take a bit of care when riding the trails after all this wind, I rode some of the lawson single trail tonight and came across some large branches on the upper parts which I moved off the trail and on the lower part it looked like someone came off in a big way with helmet parts all over the place and a fresh branch off to the side. http://www.strava.com/activities/158326742 I can report all the trails I rode in this activity is clear.

cheers steve

Best clothing for the Careflight Woodford to glenbrook ride

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

My son (14 years old)and I are going to do the Careflight fun ride on the weekend. I have brought him a pair of gloves and a under helmet bike cap. We both have a suitable base layer, I am wondering what would be the best amount of cloths to wear? I am trying to convince him to wear my second pair of bike pants under his boardies but he believes they aren't cool enough.

Bedford Creek Crossing

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

Hi guys looking for some info on a ride I intend to do shortly, I'm plan riding Oaks -Ingars - Andos - Oaks.
My questions are the following

I've heard there is a log a few hundred metres up Bedford Creek you can use to cross if the water is up or save getting wet feet ? is this correct ? any idea where the said log is ?

Once over Bedford Creek is the link trail to Ingars obvious ? I cant see it (not showing) on the mapping program I'm using to plot GPX file ?

any tips (water top up / food close by etc) would be welcome

Cheers in advance

Linking Linden Ridge to Faulko Point

I am wondering if anyone in the mountains has ridden from the walking track at the end of Linden ridge which according to openbikemap / openstreedmap appears to link into the fire trail that is just before faulko point? I am not talking about the overgrown single track half way along linden ridge but the track off the very end. '

Edited to add a map... I am wondering about the hiking track with the big circle. I dont see any GPS tracks on Openstreetmap etc that show people traversing it. I think i am just going to go an see what i can find..

Glenbrook Weir

I'm looking at doing an Oaks up-and-back Sunday. Forecast is for a little damp weather between now and the weekend. I'm just wondering what locals views are on whether the weir will be passable.

Join the CareFlight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic 2014 and run or ride the Oaks Fire Trail through the beautiful Blue Mountains National Park from the town of Woodford down to the Euroka Clearing near Glenbrook.

Covering 25km of undulating bushland, the trail is incredibly scenic and a must for keen mountain bikers and trail runners. Participants are supported the full length of the track by Rural Fire Service crews stationed along the way, providing First Aid and drinks. A CareFlight doctor and St John Ambulance volunteers will also be in support.
