Mini DW Rescheduled
Sorry folk, there was more heavy rain on GNR last night, and probably more to come.
Given the state of the track reports last week think it would be foolish to attempt the trip on the original date.
Have pushed it back 'til end of Jul, please confirm if this is good/bad for you.

I have already seen the long range weather forecast for this week. Weekend of June 23/24 is still supposed to be rainy!
Let us hope that the bureau has this wrong. Can you believe this weather?
^#%&*^$ !!
You can't really complain about the rain too much given dam levels are reported to be approaching 50% from 39% not so long ago, keep it coming! As long as you're sensible/inventive about where/how you ride you can still get out anyway, you just get a bit wet, but that's what coats are for ;^}.
I'm hoping to come along on Saturday whatever the weather.
Ta,
Matt.
What long range report did you read, the BOM site has it fine and sunny next weekend with the fine weather starting Thursday?
There are always options to get out.. but of course it will be very wet next weekend rain or not.
Fingers crossed we get a break from the rain and wind.
count me in,
cheers,
May wanna stay clear...
will organise another big ride elsewhere.

Ditch the family Evan & come riding with us
I was looking forward to this! Curse the weather again.
Possibly fire trails are the best bet for a ride this weekend, as they hold their integrity the best. Somewhere that has a lot of rocks and gravel. Would that mean Terrey Hills again?
There is always Centennial Park. I hear that cycle paths hold up well in the rain!
was looking forward to riding jacks track, lets hope it drys up this week!
After yesterday's escapades, I would have thought that we were pretty seasoned to riding in the wet...
That is unless you're going to don your lycra and ride the skinnies, wheels that is. I was going to let the first post re CP slide because I thought things may have changed but 2 references in as many weeks got me intringued so I made a phone call.
Centennial Park, and all its associated parklands ie Moore and Queens Parks, are a definite no no for mountain bikes. That eroded track around the perimeter just inside the fence line is for joggers and walkers only. There is nowhere to ride a bike of any description in the park except for, and I quote, "sealed roads"
Sorry guys but the rangers are ever present and don't mind handing out fines. As far as I am aware this has been the case since I started riding about 4 yrs ago and will be for a long time to come.
Don't believe me, call the Parklands office on 9339 6699
that was probably tongue in cheek.
Maybe Narrabeen Lake circuit is an option, atleast the water won't have far to drain off
Hmmmm... well read this:

This isn't painting a very good picture for me... anyone else?
Let us not despair yet - they were at the East end - we weren't planning on going there. It might stop raining and the sun might come out and all that.
This comment has been moved here.
Will be up North so I'll have to pass on this date...
The weekend of the 28-29th is a no go for me at the moment
Then there would be the Nobmob BBQ on Sunday the 22nd, so people might be around that weekend?
Am going snowboarding the 28th of July so that would be a no go for me.
The weekend after, the 5th of August is another (is it already the last?) 8hour on Sunday if people care about that....
There we go!
These are my thoughts..
Carolin
P.S. Only 2 more sleeps
Erm... OK - when can you guys make it? A week before or after?
the 21st would suit me
, hoping to be at the last 8hr on the 4-5th august weekend.
Just saw this link again... 21st is better for me too...
Doh! There are already committed folk for the 28th. Sorry, don't want to move it again. Come if you can, it'll be a goodie
This is the postponement comment from Mini DW. I'll move the other older comments here too, that thread was getting a bit confusing!
Count me in on this.Due to a family matter I cannot make this.
May organise a Andersons + Oaks for Sunday. May also throw St Helenas out and back in the mix.
