Crank if I could throw my hat into the ring for an invite to said guided tour. I have ridden Camden and mt Annan a few times but wish to expand my track knowledge. I'm happy for a weekend ride or afternoon during the week. I would go on the ride this sat but already have a love job planned.

Was heading out for a ride of the XC loops this weekend until I ruptured my lower abs on Wednesday.....waiting to go to Dr to see if it is a hernia

Kentlyn this morning
All Trails are in good condition. Bendi is riding well and the new bits are bedding in. Tried to ride the new early bit of Bendi but it is not connected yet.
Triple log rollover will be good when finished. Comic Book Guy is right this trail is hard for non locals to find. If we make it too easy the Motos will wreck it.
The Downhill run at the end of Bendi was an easy ride today.(even for an old bloke).
No water is being held by the tracks and my bike was still clean at the end.
Busy down at The Rock Trail.
Bendi + The Rock Trail & the bits between , make for a good 20km ride.

Ouch ! Thats no good Newts. Hope it doesn't keep you down long mate.
Anyway i've been walking to and from work for the past few weeks trying to get some fitness back so i can come out again. Sitting on your arse at work all day and eating takeaway does nothing for your fitness.
At least i can fit into my riding gear now, so hopefully i might be able to get out with you guys soon. (if i can remember how to ride, haven't ridden in 12 months, probably twice in the two years before that.) Should be good for a laugh at least.
Cheers, Mat.
I am out there 1-2 times a week on a giant trance (black / red). If you see me, let me know and I am happy to show you around
Rarely see anyone out there. On Sunday saw a group of 4 (two older guys and two kids). One of the kids was riding an old mtb (kmart style with rim brakes) and his rear wheel looked like a taco. Assumed he tackled the mini-DH as he was wearing a 661 full face.

Looking at heading out to kentlyn on Saturday with another couple of blokes to see what's out there, looking at trailflix there seems to be 2 tracks out there, Minto heights and kentlyn, my question is, is the Munro heights section worth doing, from what the description on TF says it is nice flowing ST what's everyone opinion on this section of trail. Also will have a MTB noob with us, is he going to handle it ok?

Yeah, it's OK for a newbie, just need to take it easy in some sections. The whole area is worth doing. I'll PM you some up-to-date info so you can find your way around.
Cheers,
CBG.

Can you please PM this info my way too? Much appreciated.
Trailflix is pretty out of date on Kentlyn. The Newman road starting point is quite technical, much more rutted out and loose than a few years ago, certainly not newbie friendly. But if you like a challenge it is good fun to practice on.
Better starting point is Peter Meadows road near the creek which puts you right in the middle of the area.
Guessing detailed info on trail locations shouldn't be posted so PM if you want more info before riding

Cheers CBG, had a look, will probably hit the smaller loop first on sat and see how we go. Is bendi the trail that runs from Peter meadows rd to old Kent rd?

Actually it is set up to start from the old kent end as a clock wise loop (better this way).

Bendi & The Rock Trail
CBG is right Bendi is really clean and riding well now. Nice Big Trail Fairy up that way.
The Hairy Fairy of The Rock Trail has done his bit too,it is riding well.
The two best places to park are: Corner of Darling & Old Kent at Ruse end or Boronia Road at Kentlyn end.
Be good to the neighbours they are awesome.
