Mowbray Park Farm - Wollondilly MTB Club track

[crank1979]

The creek crossing that we've been working on from the start can be ridden up one side, but it leads to a fence at the moment. A little bit of tweaking still needed.

Middle section of the paddock runs. Making the most of the terrain!

There are two pine plantations on the property that the trail will wind it's way through. The first is on the left of the pic, and includes a drink stop!

Nice little section around one of the dams leading back to the 2nd creek run.

This is pretty much the start of the trail at Mowbray Park Farm.

Looking good- enjoying seeing the progress of this.

This trail runs down the middle of the mtb track from one end to the other. It's a fast and easy bail out option if you need it from almost any point on the mtb trail.

The guys at Mowbray Park Farm finished the bridge! It can now be ridden in both directions.

 

[crank1979]

This paddock section will just be a straight line and parallel fenced. There are some areas we can't use all of and this is one. It'll be a fast run into the the next field before swinging around to the right and riding down two small steps/drops.

Could be a good place for a jump? being straight n all.

 

[crank1979]

I'm wondering if the ramps will be enough of an opportunity for that at the start and end of the section?

 

[crank1979]

Some flowing singletrack with a swinging obstacle near the end. It's always best to be the first of a group past the tyre swings!

So how long is this trail going to be all up? I'm assuming it will only be open to WTB members?

 

[crank1979]

I was hoping for an even 10km. We could build it to that length but I think some sections will feel like they are there just to get the distance. It'll probably end up at 9km.

At this stage the plan is for club members to receive free entry. General members of the public will have to pay to use the facilities as it on private land.

Sweet, 9km is a good length loop for a few laps in a day, no point in stretching it at the expense of making it boring. Don't suppose you could post a link to WTB web site?

Yes it probably needs something there to make it a bit more interesting. I think that bit of track will be between 2 parallel fences so there are probably better sections of the track to put that sort of stuff in without the risk of riders ending up in the fence. The track has a lot of potential and should be single speed friendly.

First line in the first post has the club webpage. The last line in the post is the club facebook page.
