Background

The Anderson’s and Oaks fire trails are both classic Blue Mountains rides, and the Oaks is a particularly popular ride for beginners and experienced riders alike. Both rides involve catching a train up into the mountains and then taking advantage of the 400m difference in altitude between the start and finish of each ride. Anderson’s runs from Wentworth Falls to Woodford, and the Oaks from Woodford to Glenbrook. For this reason, the two rides are sometimes strung together to form a reasonably long day ride of about 61km, Anderson’s being 33km and the Oaks 28km. Anderson’s includes a very steep descent to Bedford Creek of around 200m, and an equally steep climb up the other side. Read the rest of this entry »
