Sydney

[born-again-biker]

My wife and I do a trip to somewhere new usually in Dec and I was wondering what Sydney has to offer? Is this most of the good trails or are there some gems not mentioned? We're both fit and proficient so distance and climbing are good. I love the techy stuff...

SYDNEY'S BEST MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS TO TRY OUT THIS WEEKEND

So it isn't on the DL so much anymore?

@DMan this would be my pic of the Sydney ride on offer. It is poodle approved.

No, not like it used to be. There's even full trail signage at Narra outlining the network there. The local MTB club have been working tirelessly with council in order to get trails for us to ride that don't start with Manly and end with Dam.

That's great news. Good work

Northern Beaches has just what you're after if you like it rocky and tech. message me closer to the date an i may be available to show you around. Or message me anyway and i can give you some tips. It's all on Trailforks anyway.

Cool! If all comes together I'll be in touch.

Here's a sample -

That isn't a familiar looking trail. Where abouts does one connect with it?

So good to see a ride clip that isn't filled with berm destroying skids!

Be warned @DMan, it's fucking humid out there and often quite hot. Well worth it but have plenty of juice on hand.

That was another option. Especially after the awesome we had when we went 2 years ago.... And no need for a car

Yeah, we're used to both. Still sucks though.

There's heaps more trail there now too, such a great place to be.

Might be there yet. Especially if we have another summer like this one.

You can get to this one all the way from the top of Narra. About a 20min fire trail ride

Looks like I'll be making another trip down that way in autumn...it is a great day or two of riding.

 

[BT180]

For sure! Let me know when you come down.

 

[cokeonspecialtwodollars]

Yeah, Appin & Kentlyn!

@hifiandmtb @Oddjob
I was looking at the Strava heatmap for somewhere to stretch the legs on the way down to Canberra on Friday and noticed a bit of activity around Appin, assuming this is all still running do you have a recommendation for a couple of hour loop, any chance that you could send a .gpx file to follow?

Can't help sorry. What does Trailforks say?

Give them a real stretch @cokeonspecialtwodollars...Narrabeen is only a long traffic intensive drive out of your way.

 

[BT180]

Will be worth it!

 

[pink poodle]

Will be worth it!

Never had a bad time there, even when I crashed and fucked myself up.

 

[cokeonspecialtwodollars]

Sorry @Oddjob I meant to tag @Ultra Lord ...still not sure how I messed that one up.

@pink poodle I've ridden Narra a bit, best spot around Sydney but fuck that for a detour on a Friday afternoon.
