A 23-year-old woman is recovering in the John Hunter Hospital after a nasty mountain bike accident yesterday.

The woman was impaled in the thigh by the handlebars of her bike while riding through bushland at Ourimbah.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to the scene early yesterday afternoon and transported her to hospital.

She's reported to be in a stable condition.
