Manly Dam update for 25 Feb

Area: 
Manly Dam
Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

The track is drying out in many areas but the streams and puddles of last week have become mud holes.

Curl Curl creek is still flowing and there are areas of seepage still active after Manly Vale School, before and above the Golf Course, and in the usual places on the Allambie side. The big mud hole in the little swamp section after Cootamundra and before Monserra is now a full scale quagmire. No way around it and and getting difficult to ride through.

Those dry sections with any gradient are eroded by the water running off, which means the track is rough and with a lot of loose rocks.

And WTF some doofus has added a ramp to make the big rock in the middle of the sandy single track before the Golf Course easy to get over - I guess the next stage will be to remove the big rock and then pave the whole track.

Please stop dumbing down the track! If you can't ride it learn how. If you don't want to learn how go play on the roads.

Do you have more information?

If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.

If I see anything like that on the track it will get ripped out straight away!

Get off you bike and walk around it if you cant get over it. That or go home!
