Not a drop of rain up here for over a week so all you riders on the coast get out here if you don't mind the bloody wind! Think of it as resistance training.

Do you have more information?

If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but can you ride the track at night??????
Like to get some night riding up with Ayups on a single track.

You're not allowed on the track between sunset and sunrise. TSR rules so you don't upset the cows. You can ride pioneer rd at night.

Schrades's picture

Is that the track on pioneer rd that the council put signs up saying no push bikes allowed????

Yep. Ride at your own risk. It's the only singletrack in town you can ride at night. Watch out for the motos that have trashed it since bikes were kicked out.

Was in Singleton a couple of weekends ago. Noticed the signs at Pioneer road. Is the track still any good, or been trashed by motos. Anyone ever been fined riding here?
Friday afternoon had the TSR track to myself. Wouldn't get that in Sydney. Its one of those tracks that inspires you to go faster with each lap. Good to see the redevelopment starting to bed in.

I've ridden it twice since we were kicked out. It's not trashed but isn't that great, lots of shifty little jumps built in the wrong spots.no one has been fined I don't think the council even go up there. As for the tar, hardly ride it with anyone else. Always a good place to hang out by yuorself

the track just makes you want to go faster-on Sunday after 2nd lap at full tilt I think to myself "just do a nice warm down cruisy lap this time"-like yeah right!-only about 30 secs slower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last time, on the 3rd lap flying through the back section, cut the corner to fine and clipped the end of the bars on a tree. (Not even a narrow part)Ended up kissing the dirt. Few scraps, and dented pride. Good thing was only the kangaroos saw it.
