Does anybody still ride bulli track?

[ANDREWfromNOONA]

I haven't been up there in ages, I was just wondering if anybody still rides up there? and what it's like.

[dirt rider]

i was at tahmoor jump and there were some other mountain bikers there

i asked what tracks they been riding and they said they built some jumps and a few drops

i wouldn't mind checking this out if it is true

i later found out this isn't true from jordy
( or they are good at hiding )

Bulli has been closed for over a year and a half naw.It is illegal to ride there so dont bother going.

You can pick your way down, but it's far from "open", and is really not the place to head for a ride. The singletrack under Corrimal mine is currently open, but who knows how long that will last...

Bulli's best traits were also its downfall. It was attractive because it was easy to find, located on a main road, able to handle a lot of riders at once (it was like Pitt St on a weekend), and catered to a range of skill levels. All these points led to it becoming extremely popular and drawing lots of negative attention.

Wollongong's riding community doesn't do itself any favours. Lots of groups build and ride unsanctioned tracks (many of them members of the local MTB club). The local club made a real mess of getting an official DH race track up and running, too.

It's a shame, but a lot of things will have to happen before the situation improves greatly for legal singletrack in the Illawarra.
