This is the Woodford Fire Trail

Nick and I went for a bike ride.  We caught the train up to Woodford (half-a-dozen stations up the Blue Mountains Line from Glenbrook, where we left the car), then cycled down the trail from Woodford to Glenbrook.

The first quarter is very much up and down, but after about where we stopped to take this picture it becomes nearly all downhill, for at least 10 km.

So it is a truly marvellous cycle ride.  Some very fast downhill parts on track like this.

The last part is our absolute favourite: the Single Track down from The Oaks picnic area to the Glenbrook Gorge.  Hurtling through the bush, sometimes barely wider than a single person track but bushes up to and above head-height.  Fantastic.

A lovely Australian winter day.  Clear blue skies, crisp clear air, wonderful visibility.

An excellent day.
