Oaks Trail - Woodford to Glenbrook

After my initial ride at Oxford Falls the week before, I decided to have a go at the Oaks Trail from Woodford to Glenbrook (28kms). And a nice ride it was too. It's great to have such a nice ride so close to Sydney. Clear blue sky's and having a day off work made it even sweeter. Mostly down hill, and plenty of broken ground to have fun on.

And away we go.







A break at the circles.


Another great view.








We decided on a slight detour to the Nepean Lookout (8km round trip from the gate, heading to the right). The view is worth the effort. The track (single lane) from the "Gate" back to the causeway will give you plenty of thrill if you go hard.

Entrance to the Blue Mountains National Park (Glenbrook), it was about 1:30 PM and we were very happy to be nearly done. It was about 35 degrees C. The road out from the causeway was a real killer. It took us about 4hrs (nice and easy) to do the 35km's.
