Has Anyone Tried Manly Dam?
Now that it has been a week without any rain, has anyone tried the dam? I would assume that the bulk of the water would have drained by now, but would be keen on some verification.

I'm Under the impression that it is still closed for trail works.?
had a look on Saturday - very wet and not suitable for riding. Don't know anyone who has been round since then
.... which is ongoing, but maybe I missed an email.
I headed out for a pre dawn lap on Tuesday in the hope that it had dried out. Unfortunately still really really wet. I bailed out before i did too much damage to the track and my bike. However please note that the track is Closed despite the lack of the usual signs at the school and traileheads. There is a big barrier across the track at the start of the bush single track at the top near the Wakehurst Parkway big watertank. I did notice that they have done some work on the firetrails behind Allambie Heights oval. The have graded and smoothed over anything that was interesting on a bike. Hopefully they dont dumb-down the single track with their well intentioned track work.
.... I wonder how long it will take to dry out and reopen!
I rode it on Monday and couldn't believe how wet and muddy it still was. Plus the fun single track section was closed. Waste of my time.
