There was a suggestion that Sunday’s MTB ride this week would be at Kowen. If that be the case, instead of spending a fair bit of the ride getting into Kowen proper from the club course which is on Sutton Road (where the concrete barriers are) I suggest we depart from the old access point. If you are coming from Sutton, turn left at turn into Womboin (there is a new stonework sign). Drive to the top of the hill and turn right. About 200m along the road there is a dirt road to the right. There is a gate on the road so you have to park out on the road proper. Lets say meet at there at 2:30. Below is an aerial shot. The road I am talking about is at the right hand of the picture. Sutton road is halpfcut-off on the left hand side. You can see the dirt road that leads into the pine forest. If this is all too confusing (Alwyn) give me a call.

Do not expect fast and flowing at Kowen but it is a change from the usual.
