Wylde Ride
The artwork is called ‘Wylde Ride’ and was created by Milne & Stonehouse
The artwork deconstructs cogs and bike elements and acts as a wind vane in celebration of the mountain bike track. It accompanies the refined mechanics, gearing and bicycle design with the sensation of wind and flying through the air.
Cripple Creek

A network of fire trails that spans from Blaxland to Yellow Rock. Great for a short rides. Best for linking the Lower Blue Mountains to create some epic rides.

Which gloves for XC?
I went in store and tried on some gloves and found that XL best fitted me. L was unable to get on without a fight and XL was loose and had extra finger length. I ordered a pair of XL Fox Incline (full finger) and a pair of XL Fox Tahoe (Fingerless) from The Bike Shed. After recieving them I found them a little tight to get on but I have full movement once on. Once out riding I start to loose feeling in my thumb, pointer and middle finger and start to also get pins and needles.

Flat Top and the open road....
Flat top is at around the halfway point where the bush opens up and the ride gets more enjoyable and scenic.
You can only get so close but you want to get closer and touch it as the view is amazing. Unfortunately NO BIKES past the end of Mt Hay Rd. If you want to get closer, bring a chain and lock plus some walking shoes.
Overall A decent ride with not to many steep hills. Trail was relatively smooth and the views are amazing.

Mt York Riding
Just did Berghoffers yesterday. The state of the track is about average. It got hammered a few months ago with the heavy rains, and there was a fair bit of erosion. This has settled down somewhat, but you still need to be reasonably careful over the loose stuff.
And I thought we'd be better of with a dedicated thread for Mt York, rather than wherever we were talking about it before, so I've just copied my earlier post below.
