The Oaks - 22/4/7

On Sunday 22nd April, Sean picked me up at the ungodly hour of 7am. We headed an hour west of Sydney to Glenbrook to catch a train to Woodford, there we picked up Kev and his mate Scott and headed off to the Oaks trail.

The first 5 minutes for me were a little scary, it is open firetrial and some bits are quite eroded making the terrain quite uneven, took me a few minutes to get used to it and figuring out the best way of tackling certain sections. After about 10km the track smoothed out a lot and we reached a long steady downhill section, which was awesome! After that, it was in to the bush, the last 10km is through bushes, which was also a little scary to begin with but I soon got the hang of it!

All too quickly it was over and we found ourselves back on tarmac and facing a massive climb back to the car at Glenbrook. After a quick sausage roll and coffee we headed back to Sydney.

I absolutely loved this track, so much so that I’m dragging Mick there early this coming Sunday 27th April.
