Downhill trails in Newcastle area?

[stevietwo]

Ive recently moved up to Newie and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on where i'd find some decent downhill trails without having to go too far out of town??

I'd also like to know if there are any good dirt-jumping spots around, but i realise chances of anyone providing directions to their prized dirt jumping sopt are slim!

Cheers.

I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment so I will pos more later.

The first HMBA club race is the last week of January. Details on www.hmba.tk soon.

Try the Glenrock Trail Alliance for people to ride with www.glenrocktrailalliance.tk.

There is a heap of riding around, the best bet may be to introduce yourself to some people at the club race and get them to show you the good stuff.

seems to be plenty of trails not too far away.

Hey mate,

Next wednesday the 18th me and a mate are looking at comming to Newcastle for some DH runs either at Killingworth or Amazon if we can get there. You might like to meet us at one? If so ill put you onto someone else who we are going with to help you with directions and such.
