It didn't Appin, so lets go to Ourimbah
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here). Please do not park in this car park.
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB notice board here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up the hill). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
(Still)Time to get your out of town passport stamped again!
Due to access issues with Appin have moved this meet to Ourimbah.
If you've indicated you'll be coming hope you can still make it up the coast.
Note start time has been bumped up to 10am to allow for extra travel time.
Were you there and have a story to tell?

Hi guys
Thought this info might be of interest to anyone riding at appin. Pulled this from the Wollongong MTB website...Not sure whats happened but Rocky Trail might have to move the 4hr next week due to these issues...

RACE POSTPONED due to land council issues.
Urge other riders not to be in contact with land coucil as this might make things worse.
Dekka will be at track 8.00..we still believe you can use the track with the 4wds, motorbikes and horses.
I saw the notice that Rockys 4hr may be moved to Ourimbah.
I hope this issue has a resolution and public access does not get shut down.
We will keep an eye on it
Thanks
Thanks for the news Beaver, I wasnt aware of any issues at time of posting.
If things deteroriate and we cant get access, keep the day free and we'll find an alternate venue.
I think casual access is still OK at this stage, but I'll keep an eye out as well.
I'm in though if it happens!
I have your Jersey Gaby, I'll bring it to this social unless there is a quicker way? Maybe giving it to Al to pass onto you.?
Just read your PM Gaby, I can hold them until this social.

Maybe Kentlyn?
Copy Rocky trail and go to Ourimbah?
Rydal?
So this joint is totally closed to all mtb's?
Looks that way, going by the Facebook page... Real shame, but hopefully it can be worked out!
... and if they think they have an erosion problem now, then wait 6 months to a year after the volunteer maintenance stops and see what the tracks look like then.
Water flow is the problem, not bikes. Turbocharge it with powered vehicles like motos and 4WD ripping through the hardpack layer, once the mtbs are no longer around to displace them, and they'll have an epic mess on their hands.
this will be fun for the land owners if the fence it off too ,motos will still get in some how ..
