Manly Dam ride on Sunday?

Hi all,

Not sure what shape we will be in from our expedition at Ourimbah on Saturday. But I had heard rumblings of a Manly Dam ride on Sunday. Ack, my last day of holidays!! : (

So before other rides get organised, is anyone else interested in a Sunday ride? In order to cater for those "under the thumb", should we meet in the lower car park for an 8:00 a.m. start?

Hope to see you there.

Cheers!

See you there, have fun at Ourimbah!

your phone back, or is it a new one.

Trust me, you don't want to ride Manly dam in the rain, the wet sand will chew through your brakes pads in about 5 mins. Never fear, they have forecast rain so it should be fine and 25.

Probably see you there.

Please dont ride manly Dam in the rain
Its already over used in the dry as it is.
Riding in the rain will only make some of the bad sections worse.

every little bit helps.

Weather forecast for Sunday is looking pretty good so far, so we should be right for an 8:00 a.m. kick-off. See you all there.

Cheers,
