In the past we have had rides that were a great success, with at least  30 to 40 riders attending. Lets hope we get a greater number this year.

Make a weekend of it ?   Nymboida Adventure Festival

This is the weekend of the Nymboida Adventure Festival being held at the Nymboida Canoe Centre, make a great weekend of it, come out Saturday and stay the night.  Rooms are available, make sure you ring the Centre on 6649 4155 to book a room.  There's also great camping, with hot showers, cooking facilities and BBQ's available

If anyone wants to come out Saturday afternoon and stay Saturday night at Nymboida, we really can recommend the Canoe Center for camping or cabin accommodation, an awesome spot.  If you are wanting accommodation that's a little more private and self contained, the nearby Bullimah Country Retreat is also a wonderful place to stay.

More Information on food, music and entertainment for the Festival can be found on the Nymboida Canoe Centre website

If you have family who perhaps aren't as enthusiastic to ride the awesome trails at Nymboida as you, they can enjoy the Nymboida Markets on the Sunday morning as well as breakfast/ lunch at Jax Cafe in Nymboida.

Milestone...

Phase I and II of the new track Jack 'n Jill are complete.  There is some minor finishing to be done to part of the track but it's completely rideable

The last two bits to be completed were; to finish benching the last 30m at the top...

What next ?

Good question.. We are currently debating two extensions to the new trail to complete it.  Currently it hooks onto Red Ridin' Hood and doesn't comply with the IMBA spoke and hub trail concept that we like to follow. 

We can have a smaller track that links in with the northern part of the trail network at Legbone/Toebone trail hub or we can loop right around up near the Nymboida State Forest and join up with the Footbone/Legbone Trail hub at the top.  The former would be a 2 to 3 month project, the latter would take at least a year and probably longer but would definitely be a long sweet ride :)  

What to do? We're not sure yet, until then we'll just enjoy riding the trails we do have :)
