LOST saddle bag Manly Dam

Easter Monday (13th April) rode at Manly Dam for the first time since moving to Sydney (Great Trail by the way). Lost my saddle bag while I was out there, so I rode back over the trail, thanks to everyone I saw and asked if they had seen it. Nothing much in it, spare tyre, mini tool, tyre levers and a car key (had to ride back to Five Dock and get a spare). If anyone has found it and could let me know it would be appreciated

Thanks

Geeze... we were lucky with the rain (missing it) this morning.

Today's ride was absolutely tops. It was highly amusing on a number of occasions.

Firstly following Alex down to the creek and seeing him almost loose it (left foot unclipped drifting waaaay right) on the sandy left hand corner (the one before right hand down steep smooth rock). I was riding the inside line almost next to him and slowed somewhat to view the carnage that never came - another lucky break for the young 'un Eye-wink

Any standing water at Manly?

Given the amount of water up around Terrey Hills, though it best to ask.... is there any standing water at Manly today?

Just there are a couple rides planned there and if it's too wet might be best to find an alternate venue?

What's with the piles of rocks at the top of the Wakehurst Parkway entry point.
Is there track works in the mix? Anyone?

Manly Dam Daytime Ride Thursday or Friday?

I'm looking for a riding buddy/buddies to have a spin around the Dam for a few laps during the day on Thursday or Friday. If you're free, please let me know as I've never ridden the Dam and would enjoy the company - not to mention a tour guide.

Just received this from the rangers. Personally I don't mind how the trail currently is. However I do hope they do something that improves the fun rather than what they did on the Allambie section with those inverted water bar things.

To Manly Dam mountain bike users

Australian Cyclist Nov/Dec Issue

Anyone got a copy of this? Manly Dam got a nice write up and Cupcake got himself in it not once but twice!!! Even down to the point where you can see the words "cupcake" written on his bike.

When is the next trail maintenance day on the dam?
