Route : It will start from Woodbury Park carpark corner Yarramalong Rd & Old Maitland Rd, Wyong Creek, at 9.00am. From here there is a short transit section to Red Hill Rd where the gravel starts. It is intended to ride up to 10, 15, 20 km depending on how participants feel/decide at those distances. It's a good gravel surface suited to all bikes except dedicated road bikes with slim tyres. It's a wee climb uphill & there'll be stops along the way as we pass the Treetops adventure park and Ourimbah MTB Park (only place toilets available is here, otherwise it a tree).
