Any Brokers Nose riders? (NSW)

[Gronk]

I wasn't 100% sure if this should go here or the watering hole section, so my appologies if it's in the wrong forum. Anyhoo I'm doing a bit of a shout out to anyone who rides the Broker's trails... basically all I wanna say is that I have it on fairly good authority that it's OK to build trails up there. As far as I have been told, so long as the Bushfire brigade can get their trucks up there, no one really minds what you build.... so basically don't be putting some huge north/not shore stuff in the middle of the fire road!

You also have to remember that the area is shared by walkers and motor bike riders, now while they tend to stick to the main trails, be aware they could discover any new trails and possibly churn them up.

I personally have built one little stretch of single track that starts about half-way up the main rutted track heading up to the lookout. There is a part that flattens out and kinda looks like a t-intersection going off to the right if u are riding up. The start is a bit vague, but marked with some ribbon, and it ends down on the main trail again... in one part it comes out to the main trail but goes off it again... the bottom part is easy to find.

Anyway the long and short of this thread is that I reckon this area has some huge potential for a network of single track stuff ranging from cruisy to super hard depending where you build and what u put in there.

So if anyone is thinking of doing some work, I say go for it, just don't cut down any trees! Also if maybe people wanna get together and do some work some time, that would be cool too.

Cheers folks!

Its good to hear that you have found an area that you can build some tracks on.
If I were you though, I would make sure that it is 100% approved by the land owners and all parties involved that you are allowed to do so. I know that some of the riding situations in Wollongong are very volatile and any bad things that may happen could further jeopodise your oppurtunites.
Good luck with it.

You're right there Doze, admittedly I heard it was ok from a guy who works for the Bushfire brigade, not necessarily the land owners themselves. However there is that much traffic up there, walkers, mtbrs, motorbikers, etc that it's definitely common knowledge you can go there... and considering the damage done by the motorcyclists in some of the sections up there, and there has still been nothing said. I mean heck people still manage to drag the odd stolen car up there and dump it.

It's just such a good area with so much riding potential, it just needs people to make some more trails! :)
