Ok we had tossed around a few different options but we started with a lap of Dan's track. Clint warned us that it was very boggy and the run down the fence line would be suicidal.

In the dry I give this trail a difficulty rating of 7 out of 10. It's tight, technical and has a lot of off camber corners into hard pinches. Nothing impossible but you have to work the bike even on the downhill sections. It's a real mountain bikers trail.

In the wet the difficulty went through the roof.

Would like help to finish building a very fast flowing trail in Oberon with big drops and huge jumps. With a nice track already built i'm struggling to find the time and energy to to finish this unreal track.
So with any extra spare time i can get off anyone would reely pay off in the long run with a short freeride trail with a bit of freestyle for some kick.

I will also shortly be uploading photos of the track and a map of the area.

It was a dark and stormy night, Well Ok it wasn't stormy, more slightly drizzly but it was dark and night....

The day had been soso weatherwise starting out damp and doing its best to dry out. It had been 3 weeks since my last decent ride so I was keen as. Riding home it looked good. Or maybe it was wishful thinking I stepped inside turned back around and outside looked wet...

I scoof down some soup and the phone rings... It was Mr Lights "We still riding?" "Yeah why not."

I pack up the ute and head around to pick him up. I get a message from Rich "You reckon it's too wet?"

Myself, Meggs, Dan Blowes and Richy had an enjoyable night out with this one.

Crystal clear skys above, fun trails below...

Not even the deep patches of sand could spoil it.

Ended up doing this loop

Which took in some old fire trail a lot of which may as well have been single trail.
Back up the enduro trail in the reverse direction from what we'd normally do. This provided some techy climbs and some surprisingly flow sections that were an absolute blast.

Got myself one of those Contour HD 1080 helmet cams from the boys at Black Phoenix. rather than just stick it on my noggin I thought I'd test it out by taking it up to the rock Garden on ch6 and play around with sticking it in trees and on rock and stuff...

Still working out the easy edit program... I think I'll go back to using vagus

After lunch on Sunday 29th November Me & the Willis boys headed out to fine a track that we have been told about that we have never ridden. Iv heard about this track for years but just never got around to find and riding it.
Going off word of mouth directions we arrived at the "dirt road" and we "just got strait down there you cant miss it" LOL, we found the trail head but we drove down and clearly we should have rode. After find somewhere to turn the Ute around Me and Joel went for it.
