A mate and I are heading down from Brissy to Canberra from Friday 10/6 to Wednesday 15/6 and it would be really great if some locals could show us around a bit. We are mainly XC riders, but not afraid of a bit of air either. I ride an '05 NRS2 and my mate has an '05 Prophet.

We have a map of Majura (like everyone else) but for any of those "special" places we have no idea.

Cheers

How far away from Canberra is Nowra? Can you direct me to a link or something so I can have a look at what is going on there?

Thanks for that. I think I'll be staying in Canberra and looking around the local tracks, unless there is a XC comp close by.

Anyone up for a ride?

Krooges,
If XC is your thing then give Sparrow Hill a look.
I'm not sure if I'll be getting out there that weekend but I'll put the word out with some mates who hit it up regularly and see if anyone has plans.
Will you have access to a car? It's about 20 minutes out of town.

Thanks for the tip. Not sure about the car yet. My riding buddy is pretty familiar with the area but has taken up MTBing after he left the ACT. So I think he knows some general areas, but not specific tracks etc.

I'll keep an eye out for your posts closer to the weekend. If your looking to be out for a ride I'll send mobile number etc via PM.

I am heading down to Canberra around the 15/6 for 2 days. I am planning on taking the bike with me. I have never ridden down there before, but if you are riding Majura I would be keen to check it out.

Well, we're back home now. Thanks for the tips. We rode the Sparrow Hill loop in the rain on Saturday, and then Majura on Monday. You guy's have got it good down there - so much variety.

Cheers
