Northern Beaches Trail Planning for NOBMOB and MWMTB

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Lets keep the ball rolling!

So where to from here...im happy to see mwmtb and nobmob taking the lead with this on a public level, so i guess with so many members on nobmob and mwmtb combined, they need to join forces unofficially and stay on the same page and not go of in different directions

This will make sure all decision making is done to the benefit of all disciplines of mountain biking.

Mike Baird said "show us where you want the trails, and i will push for the funding that is available"

There was some discussion on where to go on Red Hill ( http://nobmob.com/node/11267)

I have been there a few times and know some bits, but there is always the oportunity to know more, that is a nice way to say i get lost and discover new tracks from time to time, more often than i would like to admit Smiling

Red Hill DAs

Something to come out of the meetings we've had over the last few weeks is the fact that the conservation, bushwalking and other lobbies have a lot more in common than you'd think.

Highlighting this is the fact that a number of DA plans that would affect Red Hill riding are awaiting approval. Below is a list of those that one of the other groups created, it sounds quiet serious. Sad

There are a number of disastrous developments in the pipeline at Red Hill and the surrounding bushland and all of them would destroy walking and biking areas.

Further information can be found on the Warringah Council web site under DA's on-line. Be warned that a set of DA reports can be 1000 pages long so they take a while to read. They are in smaller pdf files though, so can be downloaded bit by bit.

Nearly all the land from Red Hill to Oxford Falls and Narrabeen Lagoon is under threat of development and unless we fight for it, it is unlikely to be available for walkers or bikers to enjoy in 10 years time or perhaps much less. The same goes for a lot of the bushland at Ingleside, Terry Hills, Duffy's Forest, etc, etc. This is why the National Parks are so important as they will be the only bushland remaining soon.

-------

This is technical riding at it's best. Want some practice in the best technical riding that Sydney has to offer? Gee, I sound like I'm selling something.

I will be riding this to practice my technical skills. It has been a long time since I have practiced on a track like this. Hopefully the weather remains good. The ride will involve stopping and starting, to play and practice on various parts of the trail.
