All
If you want an idea for a good weekend away.
We just got back from a weekend in the ACT.
We drove to Mt Stromlo for a session of the sweetest single track mountain biking on the first afternoon. The facilities there are amazing including a range of cross country single tack circuits that are second to none. They range from beginner to plain scary. There is also a crit circuit, trials circuit, bmx, and downhill track. The facilities were built to host the World Championships a few years ago and I think this is where the Scott 24 hour race is held.
We then found a B&B in Murumbateman about 30-40 mins away. They do a deal with a spa room, glass of wine and canapés on arrival, breakfast and two tickets for the Turner exhibition at the National Gallery for $180.
The B&B website is http://www.schonegg.com.au/
The following day we went back to Mt Stromlo and rode the Intermediate B loop with the most brilliant descent called the Luge. There are hot showers on offer there so after shedding the mud we headed off to the gallery for a boozy lunch and to see the show.
Perfect weekend with a bit of everything. Highly recommended.
Suggestion for a great weekend away
To give you an idea of what to expect. I found this on Youtube.
It someone's GoPro film of the Skyline / Luge descent at Mt Stromlo.
Fast and flowing and damn good fun. The descent starts as the Skyline and becomes the Luge at about 2:45 into the footage.
Can be taken at full speed.
It is latter part of the first (Red) lap of the upcoming Scott 24 hour in October.
