Cardinham woods is fully open now. The full loop is 12km and is proper good fun! Savage beast of a climb up to the top of 'Hells Teeth' though. Heres a vid from Mr Bunts. His vid starts at the top of it so Im guessing he walked up the steep bit and was too embarrassed to show it in his vid. I rode all the way up to the top, twice. Honest.
