"The Wall is not in the Willo Challenge. At the top of the King of the Mtn the course turns right (as opposed to left in the Fling) and loops around to the single track at the top of the wall. I think it would be a bit harsh to have to do the Wall up…"

If you are one of the many that were 'short coursed' you might be disappointed that your results aren't available on the AROC website (they were but now they have gone). However there is a "Download…Continue

"Well done to AROC with the colour coded race numbers. A very civilised start this year with the correct numbers leaving at the correct time. Was interesting to see how many riders missed their start....."

"Well done to al those responsible for the Tathra Enduro. Milto, you are right. The 50 km race is tough and hilly. Just on 1000 m of climbing. There was about 42 km of single track! This made it hard to find time to eat and drink. Thankfully I…"

"Tent all set up. Lovely water views.....
Chatted to Paul Cole - Track is hero dirt for 99%. Only about 150m of dodgy slippery filth. The crossmarks are staying on."
KevJ commented on Steve K's event 'Mont 24hr 2012'
"In 2010 I rode the muddfest that was Capital Punishment on Crossmarks front and back. They worked fine. Given that the amount of mud at the Mont will be the tiniest fraction of CP I think they will be fine."
KevJ replied to Milto's discussion 'Closed areas.'
"TAMS closes parks etc not solely because of mountain bikers riding trails. The ground is extremely soft and the danger of tree fall is very high. Hence, many parks remain closed despite the ground being ok to ride/walk/run/horse ride on.

KevJ replied to Cameron M's discussion 'Worthy of Travel - Tracks'
"Wildside is highly recommended. Fabulous organisation and a simply brilliant idea to ride from Cradle to Strahan. Some of the cruise stages are as hard as the race stages and the scenery is magnificent. The next one is on in 2014, it is run every…"
KevJ replied to Cameron M's discussion 'Worthy of Travel - Tracks'
"Good to see this thread being used again.
I recently went to Tassie to do the Wildside race, more of that later. Without doubt one of the best tracks I have ever ridden was on Mt Wellington in Hobart. It is called the North South Track and is an…"

To get to Creek Run simply turn right at the dam as you exit the underpass (keeping the dam on your right). As you head down the…"

So, now we have three loops to choose from - brilliant!"

"Rode the 27 km loop today (Sunday Jan 8). Lots of slippery corners but wonderful to see some more of the old stuff opened up again. Sparrow is awesome at the moment.
Spoke to Alan who was out doing maintenance. The next working bee is on Sunday…"

paul cole said… - G'day Kevin - shame you were not able to join us yesterday; here are some directions to get you into the Orchard Rd loop: park as usual at Sparrow ; ride across to the other side of the H'way & ride abpprox 100 meters towards B'dore; turn left into Orchard Rd & chuck your bike over the forest gate (not the private gate on the left!) ; ride through 2 small creek crossings & approx 150 metres after the gate, keep RIGHT at the fork; follow the treeline around the East side (ignore the grassy track marked "Yalgum Rd" on your right) ; continue on the fireroad for approx 300 m up through grassy clear area until you see a large rock & the first of the native trees on your right ; I tied a bit of orange ribbon onto a tree at the entry point; follow the track through the scrub until you reach the entry point into the pine compartment; follow the tyre marks & bits of ribbon as you climb East towards the high point; look for bits of ribbon that get you up the hill - might be a bit vague in places as you get up higher - so follow tyre marks whenever possible. I have put the course through a fair bit of native scrub on the climb, but eventually you will go back into the pines at the base of the climb. Enjoy ; I am planning another ride in a few weeks - probably Oz day - to be confirmed & advertised. Paul
