What is the Back Yamma Bigfoot?
The BYBF is a 25, 50 or 100km MTB enduro in the Back Yamma State Forest. Back Yamma is 20km south east of Parkes, NSW. The race consists of a 50km loop (The Bigfoot) through a relatively flat forest of eucalypts and cypress pine. The course consists of approx. 30km of single track and the rest fire trail. The 25km option (The Little foot) covers the first half of the Bigfoot, while the 100km race (Two Big Feet) consists of two laps of the Bigfoot.
2011 Summer Series Rydal #3
From the highway come into Rydal and take a sharp left after crossing the railway. Follow the dirt road up past the houses. *Please* Be mindful of the locals, they bought places here to get away from the rat race so take it slow and keep noise to a minimum.
At the top of the hill take the left fork and follow the road past the cemetery.
With thanks to Stella Maris Mining Services and Centennial Coal we will be continuing the weekly Tuesday night races on the new trail at Rydal.
for the first 4 races we upping the entry fee to $10 to help cover trail building expenses (kids under 14 $5)
Please remember the dirt road leading to the cemetery is a residential street and we don't want to up set the locals so go slow and keep noise down.

The first couple of races will involved a fair bit of fire road until we can get some more time to fix up more trail.

2010 Here come the logging trucks #7
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.
Yeah I know I haven't had time to get the results from last week up...
This is the last one before the Christmas break
This week we're going back to the sprint track, basically the reverse of what we've been doing but cutting out half the bottom fire rd and all of the far single track... In all probablilty I'm going to be a little late with rego so if the guys who know the track can get the arrows and bunting changed over before I get it would be appreciated.
Afterwards if we can grab all the bunting in and have a beer that would also be awesomeness + 5
