"Just a reminder - please DO NOT RIDE yet unless with an official test ride group. The area is still a construction site with heavy machinery etc - and injury and track damage could result (eg from those kind riders who sneaked on last Sunday after the rain). Keep an eye on this page and Dirtz for info on test rides."
History tells us there will always be at least a couple of dicks that like to ruin it for the rest.

Anyone know about this track - is it hard to get lost? Is it like just, get up there - and ride down thing - or are there lot of little tracks to get lost in?
Thanks looks fun.

Pretty sure it's a guided tour before the official opening.... So just sign up with them and you should be shown around without any issues

Not really a guided tour as such. No need to sign up, just turn up around 9am for a quick 5 min intro at the trail head about what to expect.
Then you can ride off in your own groups at your own leisure. The xc loop is about 11.5km long with bail out options at 3km, 6km & 9km marks.
The trail is man/machine made & had some signage up at the last ride day so you can't really get lost.
If that is not your thing you can just session the pump track or the dirt jumps.

Manly dam and red hill
Just got back from riding a lap of manly dam and a loop at red hill.
Gotta say the new dam work is pretty fun, especially the technical drop/roll overs mid way which sees a bit of a crowd and some encouragement!
But. Red Hill. Soooo disappointing. What was the pinnacle of all mounting riding for me and the place where I learnt the most is now becoming fire road! Don't get me wrong, it's still an epic place to ride, but they've graded some tough techy climes and even better DH sections. It will still remain my favourite place to ride, but it's not gonna be the same again!

One of the best bit was the first climb after the downhill fire trail, I think it's called goat climb or something. it's just been graded and turned into a flat fire trail. Also at the top where the big rock drop is gone. That was a bit of fun when your returning to your car after a tough ride. Now it's just a quick roll down the hill....and climb back up.
