RFS / NPWS Hazard Reduction Burns
Submitted by ben.archer on Fri, 18/05/2012 - 11:51
Below is a preview, click to read the full post
The NPWS & RFS have a number of Hazard reduction burns planned for this weekend, some starting today.
Following on from the burns during the week and last weekend at Seaforth Oval & The Sydney Academy of Sports on the Wakehurst Parkway they are looking to take advantage of the recent spell of dry weather and run a number of burns. These are scheduled to start tonight at Deep Creek and tomorrow at Wirrenda Creek. These shouldn't affect the usual riding spots, but there may be effects from the smoke.
Be at Ararat Reserve (Bantry Bay Road) between 10-2 today (Sat 29th)!

NPWS MTB Policy and Trails for the Northern Beaches
Submitted by Rob on Wed, 05/10/2011 - 11:01
In case you missed it over the weekend there was some great news coming out of NSW NPWS.
Firstly, the release of their long awaited Sustainable MTB Policy (discussion in NSW NPWS Sustainable Mountain Biking Strategy) which should benefit riders state-wide.
Then there was news of the equally long awaited Northern Sydney MTB Pilot Program (discussion in Get on your bike in NSW National Parks!). This included maps of proposed trails in Bantry Bay, Berowra Valley and Oxford Falls . There are information days on the first two of these where the public can learn more and show their support (see link for dates). If you care about this initiative and getting some authorised trails it would probably pay to show up and thank the authorities.
Coverage in the press:

Not time to celebrate yet, but it's certainly looking promising!

RNP track work day scheduled for this Saturday

Hi all,
Sorry for the late notice but just a reminder that we have a track work day scheduled for this Saturday.
I’m going to get some good quality crushed sandstone dumped up at the northern top end of the single track, so any of those sites that need patching can be done. Or would it be better to have some dumped next to the railway tracks as well?
Patsy will be taking you so at least you’ll get a decent morning tea for a change.

A little perspective

With all the talk of the current NPWS Discussion Paper I was thinking this morning about what bike riders are actually asking for.
Bike riders just want a few bike tracks that will give them some sort of meaningful experience inside a National Park or two. You know - a few nice loops with a variety of terrain to keep things interesting, through nice bushland with nice views. Is that much to ask? It appears some people think so, so how can we persuade them otherwise?
