Where to DH ride around Sydney

[whitey89]

Ive heard about heaps of good DH tracks around the blue mtns and down south near the shire and people just seem to say the general area of where they are. I was wondering if anyone could help me out by telling me exactly how to get to some. Thanks

There's already enough dudes riding my trail and knowbody helping me maintain it so........

I suggest you ask the guys at your local bike shop, they always seem to know.

Your trail, eh? Title to the land, please?;)

Whitey, you're going to find that most people are pretty bloody protective of the trails they build or ride for the simple reason that way too many people either stuff the trails and just disappear or never put in any help with the building. You're going to need to hook up with guys directly to find the good spots... people aren't going to want to advertise them on the internet.

what grip said, no one will advertise the trails they build, but maybe you could have a look around for some public trails. e.g. oxford falls and places like that.

Mate, i wouldn't. There has been a few rangers floating around at the various riding places, some tracks have been closed and pulled down. If you get caught hacking into the bush its a big, big fine. Just ride and maintain what is there.

whitey89, do a search, there is lots of threads about this and doesn't need to be gone over every 2 months.

There are heaps of trails around sydney, red hill and oxford falls are public ones that are used heavily. Ourimbah is a specially designed course, so if you're up for the drive, go for it.

ooh when you say down south eh,well in nz ive started building some stuff when i was back there,oh and it's on my own land.

on the auzzy side.i guess you just gotta have the connections,as everyone has said,you'll be lucky for people to tell,or even show you if you're just another blow joe from no where.

there are a few DH tracks around sydney like oxford falls and red hill etc..but there isn't alot of places which wont b packed with riders. just try and find some of the local spots, they r close and dont have as many ppl on them
