State Forests Closed 18/01/13

There are State Forest closures tomorrow. I also had clarification today that Ourimbah is the Central Coast and not the Hunter and the previous media release last weekend should have also stated the Central Coast.

Trails in the Ulladulla area

I'm off to Ulladulla for 3 or 4 days over the new year and was going to take my bike.

After a bit of searching, I could only find this trail:

Does anyone know of any other trails in the area? I'm happy to chuck the bike in the ute and drive for up to an hour if that give me a few more options.

Thanks in advance, Pete.

Please explain bastard, that was my last KOM as they've all been taken over the last few months. I don't think it's related at all to the fact that I'm getting fat and lazy.

I guess you earned that one given the only time I've ridden that hill was the time you and I wheezed our way up it trying to follow Don. Glad to see you're getting out there
