It’s 99% undulating firetrail with a few steep pinches and siq views. You’ll need at least 28s, there’s a few spots that are fkn guaranteed flats so bring tubes, I probably wouldn’t do it on a roadie, you could ride sealed Mt Nebo rd then cut across 2km of Scrub Rd to camp, same deal if ya’ll don’t have a suitable bike, could get dropped or park here (Google Maps) and hike in.
Estimated departure of 2.30pm, it shouldn’t take more than 3 hours to reach the shelter, that’s allowing a lot of stops plus it’s prime #goldenhour#lightbro time
Bring something to sleep in / on, there’s a water tank at the camp, usually has water but needs to be treated.
Stoves / food / beer are all good, pack out what you bring in, you’ll be digging to poop, TP is a good idea.
Sunday morning we can either shoot up to Nebo cafe (another 5km) or cruise back to Gap Ck and hit some single trail, Rocket Frog is extra rad with a fully loaded.
Easily under a 24 hour trip. So its not going to screw you outta the whole weekend. Me and Zach are happy to foot the camping bill to book the site, if we can get people committed to the ride. Its not a massive ride distance & gives people the opportunity to do an overnighter close to home. There is plenty of dirt up that way so we can hit a bit extra if people are keen. Looking forward to it, its 8 weekends away so gives people plenty of time to sort themselves out.
^ hells yeah Rhys, it’s just fireroad, and some singletrack in Gap Creek MTB park if you want to.
I do that ride from Gap Creek MTB carpark via Boundary Road, past that camp spot, all the way to Mt Nebo cafe and back on my duallie. Good training, as it works out to be a ~3hr return ride, over 1400m of climbing in 50kms of riding.
