Scribblies ride on Anzac day
Hiya CTMBC,
There's a few of us from Orange looking at doing a little pedalling around Sribblies (leura?) on Anzac day in the morning, then maybe something different after lunch.
Can anyone play guide, at least for a loop in the morning?
Cheers,
Rod
Digging at Rydal
People trying to go around puddles instead of through them had chopped a few sections at Rydal pretty bad (If you go through the puddle you get your bike dirty and make the puddle deeper, easy fix. If you try and go around you just end up with a wide bog hole)
Any way finally got some time to get out there and help Richard with a bit of remediation

Rydal Info
Heading up the mountains for a few days over chrissy & keen to check out Rydal & maybe Lisdale , has anyone been there ? what's it like ? anything I should know ?
Unauthroised trail building
A couple of new illegal trails have been cut in off Hassans Walls over the school holidays have caught the ire of the NIMBYs
If you have been cutting the trail down into Strathlone or the one off Bracies lookout (not to mention fucking up the existing town house trail that comes down on High St, serious you've ruined the rock drops and made an errosion mess on the by pass) can you please ease up and especially stop cutting down trees and making a mess.
Rydal trail work
Myself, Lincon and Stevie raked a bit more trail on the weekend
At the end of the last DH opposite the car park theres a nice flow section with some open drifty corners,
It needs a few wheels over it to bed it in. Bottom bit is a bit grassy so if any one is heading out through the week it could do with a bit of whipper snippering.
We ran out of time so the bottom corner is a bit sharp. i plan on widening it and berming it up so you can hold speed as you climb back out on the road. Enjoy
Riding out west - Kinross and Geurie
Anybody riden either Kinross at Orange or Geurie as I will be maybe getting 3 hrs riding time out there this weekend. I have the maps, but as there is quite a bit at Kinross has anyone rode there and have some suggestions on some of the choice bits and sections.
Also is the trail at Geurie worth a visit or should I just spend more time at Orange?
Correcting misconception and false truth
Inspired by this post at BMORC http://bmorc.com/node/21232
I thought I'd reproduce a few points and add a couple more here
* It is not illegal to ride on a track located on council land unless sign posted otherwise by council.
* It is not illegal to cycle on a trail within crown land unless specifiically banned in the areas PoM and sign posted otherwise by the land manager.
Downhill Article: Lithgow Mercury
In Tuesday's Mercury:
DOWNHILL cyclist Joel Willis is a young sportsman going places … and fast.
Although only 13 years of age, Joel races in the under 15 age division, but this has not been a setback for the talented rider having built up an impressive list of achievements for one so young.
He is now a State champion after contesting the Downhill NSW championships in Awaba after beating some of the best riders in Australia.
trail fairies
Trail fairies have been very at Rydal busy again.
The rain wasn't really soaking in but should do the dug jumps and berms a bit of good
Lincon and Stevie have put in big efforts. Me and Tallis did some more digging. Todd was ripping in too. Richard plans to head out again tomorrow.
I meant to take the camera out to get some pics but completely forgot,
Again if any one has time to do a bit of raking, whipper snipping and sculpting just head on out and do your best.
