I'm a newbie here, what does "(DH+C+P+L+DH+C)" mean? DH=Downhill, C=Cross Country? P? L?

Cheers

It's shortened trail names... Eye-wink
I.e. DH = Duck Holes; C = Centre; P = Perimeter and L = Long...

Those are the abbreviated names for the trails @ Terry Hills. DH = Duck Hole C = Centre P = Perimeter L = Long Track. And they are great trails for newbies ! Have fun out there .....

In what context?

Edit OK I had no idea where he was getting the Ds and Cs from... and the real answers are above

DH = down hill
XCO = Olympic format Cross Country ie x number of laps on a looped course (6-10km)aiming for an elite wining time around 2hr

XCC = Cross Country criterium ie short course loop usually <1km certain time (20min) + x number of laps

XCM = Cross counrty marathon. Point to point type race

XCE = Cross country Enduro, looped course most laps in so many hours

Mtn X = Aussie version of 4x. Uses a bmx style moto system where riders have 4 races to earn points to progress to Finals

4X = Kinda like a Mountain bike version of BMX racing. 4 riders race down a short track with jumps, berms and other obstacles. Usual riders have a timed run to get seeded and then 2 top riders from each race progress to next round. 2 loser are eliminated

DJ= Dirt Jumping

Free ride= different for every body but generally big jumps and drops with style

Slope Style = Short compition version of Free style

All Mountain = bit of every thing thrown in to the one ride

Cheers guys,
I was just confused with the "DH+C+P+L+DH+C" abbreviations. Been riding for years (mostly UK), been out of it for the last 2 though, back now and bloody loving the rides over here so am looking to meet up with riders and get to know the areas better.

I'll check out Terrey Hills.
Thanks again and hopefully see you out there.
