Plenty to do

Review:
The tracks around the cycle centre are all excellent, and relatively easy to find, but if you want to explore the wider Forest area you really need to hook up with someone who has local knowledge. There are plenty of solid DH trails, eg around Parkend and Ellwood, but they've hard to find if you don't know where you're going.

Review:
Possibly the Best weekends riding I've ever had. Probably. Camped at some crap site though. Woke up late night loud neighbours at 6am with gas air horn next to tent & returned to trails lol. Tracks are very short but there's a lot of them. Was not on uplift but l actually lost count of my runs! Easy push up. Nailed every jump I saw all weekend. Like this place!

Review:
The uplift is run very well with friendly service.Went on the May 7th and it hammered down just before the uplift started at 10 till about 12 , it was very sketchy but wicked fun , in the dry it would get 10 . Sheepskull was closed but did the other runs with corkscrew into ski run coming out tops for most riders . Guy's on full DH rig's reckon they were over biked , 140mm-180mm bikes seemed about right. All in all fast and flowy with some gnar thrown in.
