Oaks Trail

Well we have gone down the oaks trail from Woodford to Glenbrook, so why not ride up??? This time, Richard, Tsalina, Luke, and I decided to ride up from Glenbrook to Woodford. It was a tough ride up hill but totally worth it when we came flying back down. Finally discovered the Single track at the oaks and yeah it was worth it alright. All up it was about 20km up hill and 20 back down. Great ride.
