BOUDDI NP - TURKEY AND NW RIDGE TRAILS - 29 MAY 2016

A chilly but sunny morning.

I drove to Bouddi National Park and parked at the Maitland bay carpark for a mountain bike ride.

This was a great ride as I was feeling more in control and two sections where I had some difficulty previously, I rode right through. A real feel good :). I've been watching a few MTB videos giving tips to improve riding ability. Maybe some of it was rubbing off. Anyway, I felt a lot more confident and in control.

The NW ridge trail had been recently groomed on the edges of vegetation making it a more fun and pleasant ride.

The morning sun put on a bit of a bush show this morning with filtered light and highlighting areas. It gives the green more green and brings out the colours of the tree trunks, especially, the angophoras.

A great 5.17 km ride.

CENTRAL COAST - Bouddi NP - Stroms, NW ridge and Turkey Trail - MTB - october 2012

I bought a Garmin GPS for the bike and was keen to try it out.

I drove to Maitland Bay Information Centre and rode along  Stroms Track, then along the road to the beginning of the North West Ridge Trail and then back along the ridge trail and turned off onto the Turkey Trail.

It was a good ride through dry bush scenery.  The lookout from the ridge was blocked by trees but it was still nice towering above the local bush. I didn't video the turkey trail section as I didn't press the start button hard enough. Bit of a shame as this was actually, the best part. It had some very narrow and dip sections!

The garmin was fun to use and here are the stats:

Stroms Track - 2.17 km in 12 m 26s
NW ridge trail - .85 km in 5m
turket trail and NW ridge trail - 1.77 km in 12m 21s
