So, late notice I know, but is anyone keen for some riding tomorrow morning.

I'm free for once, and thinking of riding the trails under the Law. A lazy start, about 10:30am - 11:00am.

Anyone in?

 

[Bermshot]

I know of Iselder, you would have to be good to be able to flow like he!

The Elfin?

I will decide to meet such as thee.

'twas a decent ride yesterday. Really nice weather, and the track was in pretty good nick. A little rough after the recent rain, but pretty much dry throughout.

Possibly out again on Monday, or perhaps next Friday morning again...

any news on friday morning ride?

 

[Isildur]

I'm keen for a light ride on Friday morning. Nothing too intense, as my fitness isn't where is was not long ago, and I wouldn't mind being fresh for the Classic on Sunday.

Grose head or even Hazo?

I need to come and ride that top track to the Cox's lookout.. I think Todd wants to do a MT York day ride sometime soon, so may do the full explore of the place.

It's not a bad option. would be a good beginners option as you can by pass the steep climbs on the beginning of lockyers by just heading out along the main rd.

From the junction with Lockyers it's pretty flat, slightly up hill to the look out. Not too many twists and turns but enough to keep you on your toes if you are pushing hard.

Worth a look, especially if you plan to do the run off Coxes anyway

 

[Moggio]

Have to give it a go... never done Cox's either, which I probably should. Only ever walked it in slippery, pouring rain conditions which made it look really gnarly... so don't really have any idea what it would be like on the bike.

Ummm, it is really Gnarly.

The stair section is pretty full on but once you are through the big rock ledge it's flat out fun.

Oh well, I'm not afraid to walk sections and watch other people meet their doom.

My main concern really is what the ride is like once you get to the bottom and have to loop round to the road or to the base of Lockyer's. Is that just a boring ride making the short steep section not worth the effort... that's the great thing about Lockyer's you get the whole ridge which is really nice that makes the climb up Lawson's worthwhile.

The ride out the bottom isn't too dull and it's not that far from the bottom of the funner stuff to the bottom of Lockyers. Up Lockyers gives you some very nice sections back along the ride in betwix horrible bits
