Amber	7 years	"Apparently Sydney is the place where it makes more sense to spend money on four gates closing a popular trail than building a simple bypass that would solve the so-called problem. I and many...	view

Green	9 years	Still drying on some of the water bar puddles.	view

Amber	9 years	RESTRICTIONS APPLY - KEEP OUT OF THE RIFLE RANGE - CHECK SIGNS Due to increasing use of Hornsby Rifle Range by Police and other pointy-stick people during weekdays, please take note of the...	view
Amber	9 years	Wet. Very wet. Puddles all around, as I imagine there are at most other tracks in Sydney. Let it dry for a bit and hopefully all the water will drain out.	view
Green	10 years	Mostly dry today, just a few very small puddles.	view
Amber	10 years	Signposted as closed for 2 800m sections of track due to being behind the rifle range, however you can call the listed number to check whether shooting is in practice. From what I know it's...	view
Red	10 years	QRT has now sprouted some unwelcoming signs closing us in two parts of the track, making it impossible to legally ride from Dural to Hornsby. There have been warning signs of the rifle range as...	view
Amber	10 years	Re-surfacing works are being completed just above the campground and the track is currently closed in this section. To get by, carry your bike through the bush for around 50m. Hopefully it'...	view

Green	10 years	All good this morning, pretty dry, just a few small puddles.	view

Red	11 years	There's a sign on the gate saying track closed 14/9 til 16/9 due to hazard reduction burn.	view
Green	11 years	All good today, the recent grading has definitely made some of the waterbars quite steep, so take care on the downhills.	view
Green	11 years	Just been graded. Some of the waterbars are now big dips, so watch out there, but all in all should be great fun.	view
Green	11 years	All good this morning, just a few puddles. Still as steep as ever...	view
Green	11 years	Track has re-opened with some new section of concrete. There's a small boggy section near the Hornsby entrance, then a few damp sections here and there, but mostly dry this morning.	view
Red	11 years	I went to have a closer look today, there is concrete near the temp gate so I am hoping that its nearly done!	view
Red	11 years	Still closed. Am guessing this could be for a fair while as I believe they are concreting one section of the descent on the Stewart Avenue side, and the entire track has been closed due to this....	view
Red	11 years	The entrance from Hornsby side (Stewart Ave) is fenced. Seems like there's work on the trail. Don't know how much from the trail is inaccessible, but it's impossible to start it from that point...	view

Amber	12 years	The eastern side of the gorge has been chopped up by a grader and is very boggy. Some wet patches throughout. Concreted section finished half-way up the west climb.	view
Green	12 years	Rode Quarry Rd track today. Considering all the rain it is in really good condition. Still a bit of water on the loop to Galston Gorge but no real issue.	view
Green	12 years	I have not ridden this today but I know from experience it's not actually that bad between heavy showers. I give it the green unless somebody says aotherwise	view

Green	13 years	RE: Quarry Road Track. Very good conditions East of the bridge (Hornsby side), nice and dry. Track is a bit damp in the first 1/2 km climb up from the bridge on the West side (no Sun?)....	view
Amber	13 years	Not to bad. I rode from Quarry rd to Stewart ave + extras. Water across alot of track, but mostly just on surface. Though there is some parts you should take care when riding on.	view
Green	13 years	All good, though the recent rain has made new ruts and regulars will hence need to revise their 'lines' when climbing.	view
Green	13 years	the main fireroad trail is great - loose as always (i assume) but in good enough shape HOWEVER - if you follow the route description and take the trail that goes left at the obelisk (or...	view
