Woodford - Glenbrook (The Oaks)

[Kaleb_t]

Just wondering how long it would take the average punter to ride from Woodford station to Glenbrook station.

I had a look on a couple if web sites but they give guidelines that seem to vary alot.

An hour and a half to an hour and 45 is a pretty average pace.

Make it a better day....go higher to wentworth falls and start with Andersons...then do Oaks...

Double check the causeway height with the Glenbrook NPWS office before you set off. Especially in times of rain like we've been having. Last week it was over 2M and running fast, so no chance of getting across.

With the rain forecast for the coming days, it's worthy of considering.

Yeah i had assumed with the rain the causeway would be too much. I'll wait till it clears up a bit.

I'll look into the Anderson i havent heard of it. Might be a better option to do the both.

If you do Anderson's, watch out for the tree that crosses the creek. Its claimed a few victims who were wearing SPD style shoes with no grip in the wet.

Just ride through the creek. It usually only come up to your axles

Anderson's was cleared and graded about 5 weeks ago, I rode it just after the crew went through, some parts of the trail was hard going with tree waste but the downhill section to the creek with all the awesome water bars was ok.

A rider recently was impaled by part of his bike after crashing riding through the creek, if you hit it hard enough would you go OTB?

Sure you would, if you weren't prepared for it. Personally I just stick it in the granny gear and pedal through it.

Had there been any rain? A mate and I did it while the crew was still on it, and the surface was a few cm of dust. Slippery, skatey shit.
