MTB 2:44:07 [3] 54.69 km (3:00 / km) +1034m 2:45 / km
shoes: Trek Superfly100
Epic fail of a ride. 50k of shitty corrugated sandy fire roads.
Was going to do Anderson's and Oaks down to Glenbrook.
Rode all the way down to the start of Anderson's trail off tableland rd to find the track was closed for hazard reduction. So rode back up and spoke to a couple of other guys riding down there. I headed back to the road off Ingers trail instead. Had a quick look at the fire website but could find where the burning was. Asked a guy who drove out of the road if he new if it was open and he said yes, but I didn't really think he knew what I was asking. So took the risk of riding down and again the trail was closed with danger taping and a sign on the bloody gate almost at the bottom! So pissed off. Contemplated just going through as there was no sign of any back burning happening, and could hear two MTBers riding down below (i assume it was the guys I stopped to talk too earlier , they must have ignored the signs).
Decided best just to turn back and make the long uphill slog back to Wentworth falls. Why they couldn't have put up a couple of signs up near the turn offs instead of at the bottom!
