Knockback from Willoughby Council
Just received this email back from Willoughby Council. I am still considering how to respond.
Willoughby City Council – Mowbray Park Reserve Action Plan
Thank you for your comments on the Reserve Action Plan for Mowbray Park.
The request for a mountain bike track through the park has been considered, but is not compatible with the main current uses for this reserve, which are environmental education, recreational walking, and the preservation of native plant and animal habitat.
Appin update for 01 Nov
Track was in good shape this morning but I don't know how much rain they've had this afternoon so that may have changed.
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.

Ourimbah State Forest update for 01 Nov
Imagine if that amber light went red... long term!
It seems that the behaviour of some riders is jeopardising the relationship between the local club (CCOMTB) and the land manager (Forests NSW).
Please! Park half way up the hill and not at the area at the bottom of the hill.

Need to bleed my elixir 5's
Hello as the tittle says im looking for an avid bleeding kit to buy. Ive got elixir 5's and they seem to be quite spongy, loosing power, and almost touch the handle bars under hard breaking. So now is the time for a bleed!
Ourimbah forest access issues
Just got this from Greg. Parking in the bottom area has been a thorn in their side for a while now with some riders just too important to follow the rules.
Notice to all MTB community members who use the trails at Ourimbah State Forest.
Rola roof racks 40% off
Just letting you all know that Repco auto has 40% off all "in stock" Rola roof racks and accessories at the moment. The add reads
"40% off original price. Massive roof racks & accessories sale. Excludes roof pods and trays. Offer only available while stocks last. Limited stock. Store stock only. No rainchecks."
I just got bars and two carriers for $350 instead of $585. Just got to remember to avoid under ground car parks from now on

Good source for 36t chainring?
Hi All
Yesterday I fitted a spare 36 tooth Surly chainring on a 1 x 9 for a lap around the dam. The ratios were perfect (11-32 rear) but I was getting shocking chain suck because the chainring is too thick for a 9 speed chain (as I've discovered today thanks to the Surly site)
The question: can anyone recommend a good source for a 36t, 4 x 104mm chainring? I need it for the fling in two weeks so can't wait for a OS internet order so may need to (egads!) pay retail
thanks in advance

Quarry Road Track
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Stewart Ave, Hornsby
There's basically four sections to this out and back firetrail: Great downhill (Anderson's style) descent that lasts forever, that gets down to a beautiful bridge. Then followed by an equally forever uphill (the erosion on some of the tarseal doesn't help) when we come to a campground. That's before hitting the steepest bit of all, which goes forever. Things start to get a bit easier, as it's only small inclines and declines for 3km before the Quarry Road gate. After turning around, we go off to the left fork at the campground for more small ups and downs.
Berowra
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Corner of Gully and Berowra Waters Road. There's a little playground there that has a tap to fill water up from and a car park behind the shops.
SEE YOU THERE!
NOTE THAT ON THE MAP IT SHOWS MEETING POINT TO BE AT END OF OVAL, WHILST ACTUAL POINT IS CORNER OF GULLY AND BEROWRA WATERS ROAD!
ALSO, IF YOU HAVEN'T ARRIVED BY 8:10 AND HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME (my number's in my profile), WE'LL ASSUME YOU'RE NOT COMING...
If you've been here before with me, you'll know what to expect. If you haven't here's a rough outline:
