You mean start at the gate we usually end at when I am there... but which is the finish point? On a map?

Yep, start there, the finish is 100 metres down the track at the intersection!

Did 3 laps last Sunday. Quickest lap was 2nd lap with time of 30:20.
Also rode up Bees Nest hill once. Would also be good to set up personal challenge for Bees Nest Hill, starting at the sign at the bottom and finishing at the sign at the top. Didn't time the hill last week as was part of my last lap. Will time myself next time.

Well done with the 30.20 mate, when you beat it, post it and i will update it, we usually ride grose head out, down bees nest, then a lap of blue gum, up bees nest and reverse of grose head.
We never time it but would be interested in knowing what time we do.
We have had a couple of people say they would like to time bees nest down hill, there would be heaps of takers for that one!

OK, which way around? Clockwise or Anti-clockwise?

 

[No Skid Marks]

Have I ridden it?

 

[ireallylikeriding]

34.51
That is anticlockwise right??
gate to gate however.
including massive swamp stack also...

Anti-clockwise, descend the switchbacks, Alex is going to get in a lather if you crack his time, you may find yourself in a spooning position!..Well done today!

I dont think you have Rod, you will have to come down and hit it, Coffee afterwards(real coffee).

Fair enough, I'll get out there one day. To be honest I'd probably never go 100% out there as it's always full of walkers whenever I go through, so I'd say Alex's time is safe. Although I do like the idea of a spoon..............

If anyone is intersted I would happily post up some local trail + hill times as targets, some of them are pretty old so are probably due for a beating.

Finaly, thanks! It's about bloody time!

 

[ireallylikeriding]

Just to well and truly clarify, we are talking anti clockwisefrom gate, looping round to the start again, before trudging back to the gate...?

Yep, start at the top gate, stop at the intersection where the tree, sandstone rocks and big gum tree stand at the intersection!
Big Dog, come out one arvo when there is less chance of running into walkers, do a reverse of bees nest and grose head!

What day you going out.. I may try and see what I get on the single speed.

(Tried my geared bike the other day after two months and just didn't change gears... then remembered and did a terrible change and dropped the chain.. useless)
