I was at the Dam today and went over the Bantry Bay. There is now a no bikes sign at the start of the singletrack. It also has a little comment about it being a Aboriginal site.

Is this new? It's been a fair few weeks since I been there.

Unfortunately I still saw plenty of bikes riding out of there who obviously ignored the signs.

Hi all,

I took a call from a national parks ranger recently, noting to us that some of the trails marked on this site were 'illegal' trails.

He has requested a meeting with Robin and I. I also spoke at length today to Adam from Club Mud, who has also spoken to National Parks.

The issue at the moment seems to be that there is a lot of direction coming down to close trails, with zero community input (in my humble opinion).

All those that would like to say their piece say 'Aye'... Ok, my eardrums just broke.

There seems to be little action here, so thought I should mention a bit of news from a while back.

Earlier this year I wrote to NSW NPWS regarding their maps of Ku-ring-gai and Garigal National Parks. I mentioned that these maps didn't show many trails that one can ride with the NPWS blessing. I explained how there were loads of fire trails in these parks that I knew were wide open roads that one could easily drive down, and ask if that's the case how come riding isn't permitted there.
