Awaba MTB Park

Posted by Trent in Mountain Biking, Training on November 20, 2010

A 1.5 hour drive north of Sydney for 2 laps of the 10.2km Red Loop XC trail; A pre-run to next week’s Spring Fat Tyre Festival.

The trail winds up and down through a mix of open grass land and rainforest. A few muddy sections with all the recent rain but otherwise in good condition.

The trail is very well built, relatively non-technical and features many bridges.

It took a little while to get re-initiated with the bike and re-gain confidence after 3 months of no mountain biking. Fortunately, no spills.

Was joined by my best mate, Jeeten and a number of fellow NobMob riders.

3 Ring Circus

Posted by Trent in Mountain Biking, Race on July 25, 2010

Conditions were perfect in Wingello State Forest with the trails in great condition for the 50km of racing combining the Blue Ring (6km), Red Ring (25km) and Yellow Ring (19km).

A helicopter evacuation was required for an injured rider. The frst rider to the injured rider was a nurse and 2 others soon after were Doctor’s (including one a Emergency Retrieval Specialist!).

The route was a 50km circuit which took in three loops of the MTB trails in Wingello State Forest – Granny Gear (blue ring), Big Dog (red ring) and Spinner (yellow ring).

The Blue Ring was 6km of fast, mostly flat fire trail.

Next was the Red Ring, 25km long and traversing several gullies, with one or two climbs including “The Wall” and 13km of sweet, flowing single track.

Lastly, the 19km Spinner took riders through some deep gullies and steady climbs, through mixed forests and open farmland.

In total, there were 810 riders, 651 soloists, 58 DNFs and 90 did not make it to the start.

Overall	Cat	Plate	Name	Blue Ring	Red Ring	Yellow Ring	Result
