Recommend places to ride near Sydney

[the drizzle]

I am heading up to Blacktown to work for a month.

I am from Melbourne and don't know anywhere to ride around NSW.

My favourite trails in Victoria are Bright, Ballarat, Red Hill, You Yangs and Buxton.

I'll be riding a nomad 4 and will have a work car. Somebody local could recommend some gravity trails in the area?

Cheers

They're not ignoring you, we're just a few years behind on the whole trail access thing.

I'm not a local but have ridden some good stuff at the base of the Blue Mountains which should be close to you. Check out the Trailforks app if you don't get any bites here.

Yay, although we prefer to call it Noireville.

I would suggest Knapsack DH at Glenbrook which is about 30 minutes west from Blacktown. Knapsack is a bit of a maze though. Some details on this link

Some time at Mill Creek near Menai should be fun for you too.

Might have to meet the Drizzle while you are in town.

Theres a few around mill creek/loftus that’l be fun, but bloody short runs compared to bright etc (like <minute) it’ll be a solid drive from blacktown. Best bet’d be head to the blue mountains I reckon. If you wer gonna come this way I’d be inclined to keep scootchin on south for greenvalleys if gravity’s your inclination.

If you wer coming here I’d make a day of it and hit mill creek in the mornin after coming off the M5, grab some breaky and a coffee down at the beach at cronulla then knock out loftus afterwards.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions guys. Riding with some burners would be fantastic!

I have friends in Blacktown. They ride often at Garigal. Search TF and Youtube.

I was going to suggest the northern beaches area...as above.

Northern Beaches is the place to go. i can show you around - when you heading up?

I got up here on the 31st but haven't managed to get back to Melbourne to grab my bike because I have been flat out working and haven't had a day off.

Hook up with the blackmans crew from Penrith ... you need locals to show you what’s what in the mountains and surrounds.
