Seeking ST in Canberra

A call to those who abode in Pornberra,
Am heading down there for the next week and hoping to get in maximum riding I can sneak in.

The question is;
Other than Stromlo, Sparrow, Majura and Kowen (?tracks still in comission?)
Where else can I ride?
Is there any tracks left at the Brindabella's?

Thanks Jeff.
 
I would suggest giving Bruce ridge a go, ATM I would rate it second only to Sparrow Hill, so many trails in such a small area makes for a few hours of fun.
If you ride there I would suggest parking at Bruce CIT or AIS ride through pedestrian underpass under Gungahlin drive, there is a few gates along the cycle path. My personal prefrance is to ride anti-clockwise, so turn right into ST after going thruogh gates. Oh pack the warm gear!

Kowen - Sutton Rd Club Course is good, but the other Kowen venues have probably been trashed by motorbike riders. I know the old 24hr course was mostly in need of repair when I last rode it about a year ago.

You can find some singletrack in Kowen forest, half-way between the 24hr course and Sparrow Hill. Takes a bit of finding, and there's not a heap of it tho.

There's also Jerrabombera, which isn't actually legal, yet is ridden by locals and others frequently. Not enough riders on the JRA (despite the suitable acronym), it would seem.

Is there any tracks left at the Brindabella's?
No real singletrack that I know of, but heaps of firetrail if you don't mind riding non-twisty track in nice scenery.
