Just bought the young fella his first trail bike and keen to take him out to get a face full of dirt and some gravel rash this weekend, but I have no idea where to go.

Anybody know some good spots out of town a bit where no-one cares too much if we putt around on unregistered bikes?

If you don't want the whole world to know about a fav spot, PM me maybe...

Thanks!!

ok Brindabellas, Captainsflat, Cowrin Forrest near QBN. Back of Tharwa is also possiable but shit. YOur best best would be Cowrin but some of the trails there are a bit much for a newbe.

Thanks for that. Can you give me a rough idea of how to get to Cowrin Forest, i've never heard of it before?

sure, its just near yass road QBN, near the motocycle training ground on sutton drive I think thats what its called. Just near the turn off to Oaks estate.

If your heading into QBN via the road past the air port, its left just after the oaks turn off, then about 1k up the road is a parking spot.

There are heaps of different areas in there, lots of tight single tracks, or open fire trails. Dont get lost!! and watch out for mountain bikers.

As for the place near braidwood, its Mr Griggs and there is a track there, plus heaps of open spaces just dont go on the areas marked no bikes. That place is pretty good and all for a donation and sign a vayver.

Sorry to dredge up this post again, but can anyone tell me exactly where/what/how to get to the place near Captains Flat?

I think it's on someones private property, like Larbert near Braidwood is. Tried Googling it, but SFA.

Thanks

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
