cheers

I have been MTB riding in the Mid Coast region over 20 years which is by international standards highly valued for its rich biodiversity. Sadly with Corporate demands and short falls in quota promises, our Forest and its Fawna have paid the cost dearly. This broad clearing dries the future forest out it becomes more flamable these trees also do not precipitate moisture like their predecessors. The justification has always been jobs and revenue but in an ABC news article 2 years ago it showed that the industry runs at a loss and forestry axed one third of its workers, in response.

After some delays we now have confirmation from council that they will deliver rock and crushed sandstone in time for this weeks vollie day. As usual we'll meet at 8am Saturday morning. The meeting point is Wakehurst Parkway junction with Curl Curl creek fire trail. We will be working on a section of the Trig track.

Rock will be delivered Friday, we also need some helpers to move rock to the work site in time for Saturdays session.

Yep it’s that time again. This Saturday is the third Saturday of the month and that means Manly Dam Volunteer trail maintenance day.
We’ll be meeting just off the Wakehurst Parkway at the Curl Curl Creek fire trail at 8am this Saturday to continue our work on the single track. Please let me know if you are coming along so we can ensure we have enough hand tools for everyone.

It's on again ..Manly Dam Vollie day this Saturday 8am - 12midday...more focus on the single trail section between the Seaforth bowlo and Curl Curl Ck fire trail. Meeting point will be the gate where the Curl Curl Ck fire trail meets the parkway. hope to see you there .. bring a friend!

Noticed lots of (what I think are) survey markings on the Bantry Bay side of the trail. Blue paint of the type used for marking roads in construction etc. All the way from the Seaforth oval sniggle right through to Possum.

Anything happening to these trails? wonder if it could be because of the tunnel. Really hope we don't lose those bits of track....

Does anyone know what happened to Edward. Went for a ride last night and the trail has been loosely blocked by fallen trees on both ends and all the rocks used for ramps have been moved to block the trail in multiple places.

It looks like it was done by more than one person as alot of rocks were moved and some ricks were very large.

There were no signs posted

If anyone found a Specialized Stix Tailight on Saturday please PM me and let me know.

Likely places would be Manly Dam Golf Course Single Track - probably the cobblestones, Possums - probably around the second rock climb which I didn't quite make , Cascades Heath Track more likely than Quary, then St Ives single track although I doubt it. I noticed it missing when I got to the Showground.

Cheers

A critical section of what should be a marvellous bike path entry point from Umina to the fire trails south from Pearl Beach.

We are making comments to Council as part of their Bike Plan review.

Reasons for inaction include dangerous rocks but there was a road there from 1927 to 1954. The sewer line runs along the track alignment. No difference in engineering challenge than the Manly to Fairy Bower promenade.

There would need to be rock protection but the Austrians have the technology for avalanche and rock protection for roads.

Rock bolting is also an option.
