Ride Kiwarrick, Taree
Details
2 - 3 days of MTB at its best. Could only book one cottage, so limited amount of spots at Mansfield cottages, so first 5 in. If you are keen to join us and miss out at Manfields, you can always try to find another spot nearby.
Kiwarrick has to be one of the best trail systems in NSW, if not Australia and is about 3.5 hours north of Sydney. It has over 50 kms of single trails and trails to suit all levels. You will need a medium to good level of fitness to take advantage of the 2-3 days of riding. Check out the Tip Riders homepage (http://www.kiwarrak.com) for more detail of the trails.
Check out my 3 Days@ Kiwarrick from a report (http://huntermtb.com/node/41800) I wrote up from last time and follow this link (http://www.mansfieldonthemanning.com/mansfield_gettinghere.htm) to the accommodation at Mansfields if you want to check it out, its a beautiful spot.
