Spot on !!! Have discovered all these trails myself over 4 years of Sydney ADV riding- some beauties amongst them. The letter A was reportedly a house that stood at that intersection and was a reference point for some years- ? Swiss looking chalet type house that is no longer there.
Thanks for sharing, a nice selection. Just two comments the route 4 GPX: when you go down to the Godmans Ford, the GPX takes you through some private property. At the bottom end there is a locked gate. The GPX also takes you through the Botanic Gardens in the Blue Mountains. I'm pretty sure they would not impressed if you take a bike through there :). Anyway figured, I'll let you know as the GPX are aimed for beginners that might try to follow it too closely.
Really really really well done! Perfect blend of narration, animated maps and footage from the road, easy to understand, more pls. I rode suggestion no2 from your previous vid 'Coffee Run' and it was a great ride.
Mate, I don't think you give yourself enough credit for your work. I never miss a video of your, I love them. Don't let perfect get in the way of done.
Ugh we're too far north to take the bikes (8 hours) but we'll be down in Sydney for Christmas and I'll be imagining riding these awesome routes haha. There's nothing better than an adventure ride with your friends.
Did the wheelbarrow ridge road portion of the Wisemans to Colo. I’m not very competent and it was harder than I thought with some very soft sandy bits. There were some light showers during the ride and possibly a bit a couple days ago. Not sure if it’s usually a harder surface.
I punched a hole in my sump on Mt Horrible Rd (4 wheels) on a snowy winter's night once. With a torn quad muscle. 'ORRIBLE!! Do recommend it as a ride. I do it on a Street Scrambler. The road's pretty decent right now, but the Trumpy's done it easily in worse cond'n. Will try all of these tho'.
As a beginner adventure rider in western Sydney, I LOVE this! Thanks mate 😊
Glad it helped 👍😀

Thanks mate, well spotted! GaiaMaps trying to take short cuts again 😜
I've updated the files.
Spent the long weekend tackling the loops around Wisemans, thanks to you.
Had an absolute blast! Thanks for sharing :)
Awesome!!

That's the thing about a dirt surface, it can shift and change from one day to the next, but that sounds like good practice to build the skills.

Do recommend it as a ride. I do it on a Street Scrambler. The road's pretty decent right now, but the Trumpy's done it easily in worse cond'n.
Will try all of these tho'.
On that day, sounds justsified to call it Horrible!
