Knapsack Downhill

I was out in Knapsack last night and heard mottos fanging around. I rode over to where they were and discovered them heading down the downhill track.

Lake Woodford?

Blue Mtn locals,

I'm taking my son and mates to skateboard Glossop Rd at Lake Woodford tomorrow.
Fairly certain that there has been no fire activity in the last week, but don't want to travel from the beaches to find access blocked.
Any locals know whether or not the road is open at the moment?
Any info appreciated.

Cheers

Katoomba singletrack

Hi, I'm new here but have been riding upper mountains for a while. I am interested in doing a regular ride early (7am) Saturday mornings on the Katoomba singletrack if anyone is interested. I am getting a bit bored of riding alone and would like to ride with others socially and to help progress skills.

Cheers,
Nibs

Parking at bottom of the Oaks?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

As you might have seen, our maps now allow for POIs (points of information) to be added and I've put in a few to try and show the way.

Was going to mark the information, toilets and car park at the bottom of the oaks. You know - by the gate on Bruce Road.

However, can anyone please tell me - do you have to pay to use this car park?

The NPWS sign I can see on street view shows parking, toilets and information. I assume there is a tap here too for water, but does anyone have any idea of where to find it? Is there also a picnic area here?

Blue Mountains Fires

Just a post to see how the Bmorcians are faring after yesterdays awful conditions. I know of at least 1 person who lost their home in Springwood. (Not a bmorcer) I'm sure there will be others. Take care everyone.

Lost GoPro along the Narrow Neck Track

Out riding the Narrow Neck trail Wednesday last week and had a GoPro crack off its mount. Most likely between the Fire Tower and Lookout. We had a look but couldn't see it on the day. If you spot it, it would be appreciated by the owner. Cheers BMORCs!

Any rides going on this weekend in the blue mountains? (31/8 - 1/9)

Hey guys, i'm living at the foot of the mountains and have been travelling to Grose Vale to ride a semi DH track which is very fun however I've been going alone and i'd prefer to ride in a group if i could. i'm available Saturday and Sunday this weekend but mostly Sundays. If any other people are looking for riding companions as well that'd be great if we could tee something up there.
any response to this would be great!
cheers

Wollemi overnight ride - suggestions?

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

Any ideas from the brains trust for a Wollemi weekend ride??

We had in mind Putty to Dunns Swamp, however the scope seems a bit much and water perhaps unavailable on the way.

Any ideas for a loop or out-and-back, which involve an overnight camp preferably with water somewhere on the way. We have filtration/purification gear so water that needs that is OK so long as not too scungy.

Old trails would be fine, buff fireroads aren't necessary.
