We Need You, Now! The Future Of Northern Beaches Mountain Biking Is In Your Hands!

On Thursday 30 June 2011 a survey will go live on Council's website that aims to collect demographic and participation data from residents and visitors who ride mountain bikes in Warringah. The survey is an important component of the mountain bike research that is being undertaken by Council. It demonstrates to the mountain biking community that we are looking closely at the current and future provision of facilities in Warringah.

For the purposes of this survey the term mountain biking refers to all types of off-road cycling that does not occur on roads or formal bike paths, including such disciplines as cross country, BMX, downhill and dirt jumping. As mountain biking is an ongoing and controversial issue in Warringah, the survey is expected to receive many responses.

The online survey will be available for four weeks until Sunday July 31 2011, to ensure that people who may be away over the school holiday period have sufficient opportunity to participate.

Publicity will include, for example:
Inclusion in the Manly Daily Warringah Update on 1 July 2011
Email invitations to Councils mountain bike contact lists, including bike clubs and bike shops
Media release
schools Council representatives and Student Representative Councils
Twitter and Facebook

The online survey is sooooo simple to fill out..it will only take you 5 minutes...and you get?.... legal single track and purpose built singletrack for you to enjoy!

Some tips for the Survey:

If you love the environment you ride in, please let that show!

Question 3: XC single track, DH, FR and DJ are all just as important as eachother.

Question 6: Dont like that they put risk with excitment, please tell them if you think thats wrong. Excitment? yes! unessesary risk?, no!

Question 9: Please include area's that you believe can have trails formalised or built
Ingelside park, and Warriwood Escarpment are a good start or any other parcels of land suitable that are not mentioned.
Question 14: Downhill or any other dicipline that is not catered at all needs to be shown, as there is currently Zero on the beaches, only Freeride is currently available on a somewhat informal basis at Oxford Falls

Most importantly, try to understand the reason why they are asking the questions before answering them.

Please make the most of this as oppurtunities like this dont come allong every day!
