So if your missus wants to go to the snow but you want to go riding heres the answer.
Went down to Jindabyne for easter to ride with Polly and my nephews and in between the parties and fun we got in a few days riding.
Day one:Being a tightarse I hate the idea of paying to go riding when we have Nundle for free, but the boys took us to a bike park about a half hour down the Barry Way from Jindabyne called Wild Dog Moto park, run by a great bloke and all very friendly and good value for money. Not a huge set up by any means but it has a mass of super tight single trails that never quit and never give you a break to the extent that 40 km of trails on the day had me stuffed (plus trying to chase down some bloody quick mongrel nephews). Trails are sandy loam tight twisting, up and down hill an all in all bloody good fun and thoroughly reccomended.
Day Two was down into the vic high country, with unmatched views across the Snowy Mountains pretty open stuff mainly but every frikin rock in Australia lives there either as loose rocks or as big rock shelf.
Funny to watch 4wds struggling up and down trails that the bikes dont really even notice. Individually the trails were not that testing but after 140 km of it my arms felt like they belonged to someone else and I struggled to hold a beer that night. Polly was just as bad and had to drink firewater instead which made him a very messy Polly. If I ever see another rock it will be too soon.
but the rocks down their are something else !!!
