Archived trip from old website run by Chris
In December last year, a couple ANUMCers got out and volunteered at the Thredbo Cannonball MTB Festival. Their reward, bike hire and lift pass for every day they helped out. Well, the time has come for some of us to use those passes. We'll be heading over to Thredbo Friday arvo and camping at either Thredbo Diggings or Ngarigo campground (http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/thredbo-diggings-campground).
If you feel like joining us, we'd love to have you along! There are some great tracks around to try out like the Thredbo Valley Trail. While you don't need a downhill mountain bike for these trails, minimum requirements for the TVT are:
- Helmet
- Glasses
- Gloves
- Functioning Bike with front suspension
- Spare tube + Pump
- First Aid Kit (1 per group)
Alternatively, if you'd like to get a lift pass and hire a bike (for prices look here: https://www.thredbo.com.au/activities/summer-activities/biking/) you could join us on the trails. For downhill riding, in addition to the above:
- Knee pads
- Elbow pads
- Suitable bike
Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
As a guide for fuel, read here ANUMC Driver Reimbursement guidelines (http://anumc.org.au/node/69)
Edit: Updated Fuel + Park Entry Cost, forgot to add on park entry ($17 per car per day)
Head over to thredbo friday afternoon, camp at Thredbo Diggings or Ngarigo. Those with lift passes will ride at the trails at thredbo. Others will ride selected trails in the area. Both groups will carry first aid kits. Return to Canberra Sunday afternoon
