Seems to have been a 5 odd days of heat and no rain?

Great if they could open it up today. I wouldn't mind sneaking in a ride before it gets closed by the forecast rain on the way.

... but if you want to pretend you went riding come to the school at 8 to get your picture taken:

Would like to but was trying to get a couple of hours fitness in prior to (another) Christmas excess this evening. Makes me feel a lot better about myself rehydrating with beer rather than just over-hyrdrating.

Then you have no need to worry, I am up to 100k's this week already and will probably hit 300k's all up by the end of the week.

Rob, I'd be there but the other half is heading out for a night out and I'm on kid duty. Eye-wink

But, the trails around the dam area (Bantry Bay tracks, etc) are still rather wet.

Sadly I have absolutely no interest riding on the road unless it's to get to a mountain bike trail.

Good afternoon Mountain Bikers,

I will be going out this afternoon to remove the ‘CLOSED’ signs and the track can now be considered OPEN for use. Please cross your fingers that the rain and storms predicted for tomorrow are light or non-existent so that the track can remain open for the weekend.

Regards,
Manly Dam Rangers

Wish I could get out of work early for a ride....!

Sadder still, most of the North Shore roads I ride my roadie/commuter on for work are rougher than the trails ridden on weekends. Ah, Sydney roads.....
