Below is a piece on Loch MareeI recently did for ADBs Where To Ride section for the December issue (I think)LOCH MAREE TRAIL BIKE FARM – Between Taralga and Oberon - NSW
Lochmaree Trail Bike Farm is a truly unique and picturesque property located on the southern rim of the Blue Mountains National Park conveniently located only 50 minutes south of Oberon; 50 minutes north of Goulburn; 2 hours 45 minutes from Sydney.
Lochmaree features 2300 acres full of directional marked enduro trails that make their way through some of the most spectacular riding landscape within NSW. There is also a 2 km motocross track with 5 table-tops and 12 sets of doubles and an enduro cross track with doubles and a great ski jump.
Lochmaree has been developed by a group of devoted dirt bikers whose passion for the sport and adventure is reflected in the quality of the trails that run throughout the entire 2300 property. In fact, Lochmaree had its first enduro race more than 30 years ago and has been the getaway for only a select few of savvy dirt bikers since then.
Lochmaree caters for unregistered bikes to enjoy over 100km of sign marked adventure trails and a couple of decent, well maintained motocross tracks as well. Lochmaree is also the gateway to an expansive array of trails that make their way through the Blue Mountains National Park and adjoining forests. The imagination is the limit for well-organised trail riders with a licence and registered bike who can enjoy the day out riding some of the hundreds of km’s of trails that exist in the area. Everything a trail rider could wish for!
Facilities include excellent accommodation at an affordable price, workshop, bike wash, first aid, spare parts, all supported by our friendly personnel within a great friendly atmosphere.
If you like riding dirt bikes, hanging out with your mates and escaping for a weekend, then you will think this place is heaven.
