Cowan Track
Hi - does anyone know if Cowan track open to riding?
I did ride it on the weekend to get a full 50k out of 2 x P & L loops. But I was not sure with it being gated off.
Shame if it isn't it has the best view of Apple tree bay!!!
Ps:
Apologies to the Turramurra Cycling rider I nearly cleaned up on return from the Long Trail loop. Had I not had new pads and disc inserted we could of ended up in a nasty mess.

Yes it is. I have it in writing from NPWS.
They were also meant to open Smiths Creek when that happened, (over a year ago now) but sadly have not followed through on their promise to let us rehabilitate some bush alongside there in exchange for that access
That was a close call.
Thanks for all the offers of help on the Long on Sunday morning. Lots of tube trouble. Anyone ever had a valve come completely out of a tube? My mate ended up having to walk back to the start of the long.
Those Turramurra guys were motoring, I'd love to know what time they do.
Thanks Rob - its interesting that there appear to be very little use of this trail. It is quite overgrown with a few tree's down here and there. Still it is a good ride down and back.
I rode down Cowan on sunday morning (included in a nice Chiltern / Duck / Centre / Perim / Long return) and I suspect I was the first down that morning as I ended up covered in those bloody sticky yellow spiderwebs!
Always a fun ride down there and back up, (albeit very short)
Had a few trees down blocking the track near the lookout, I might shift them off the track next weekend when im there again.
