Hawkeye, this is going to conflict with the biggest ever motor sport event on the Australian calendar. The Bathurst 1000 starts at 10am so you would have to start at 6:30 so I can get back home in time to settle in for the start

I enjoyed the last ride. I think it tired me out a bit as I havent ridden since. Lets do it again.

I was the filling in a car sandwich last night on the Mona Vale Road (not my fault) and have pulled up pretty sore this morning… I'd say I'm doubtful for this ride. I'll sign-out for now but if I feel good in the morning I might see you there.

That was fun. And hot. But still fun.

Manly Dam is always a great workout.

After counting Emus in my sleep last night, I was looking forward to the ride this morning. My bad for not checking the web for the change in plans. Hope you guys had a good ride - that darn Emu is still at large! Maybe next time....If anyone is heading out to Kanangra next weekend, I might see you there.

Good idea to have your mobile # in your profile Smiling

were there any signs up at the trail entrances advising of the closures?

Trycycle's picture

Thanks for the tip. Will do.

I pretty much stuck to the St Ives sniggle this morning - left Duck Holes and Centre for next time.

Plenty of traffic on the St Ives trail. No signs that I could see.
