Manly Dam update for 08 Aug
Did both the classic and extended loops today. Extended loop is in excellent condition with some new berm work on Possums getting the thumbs up from me. 
The classic loop is still very wet at the Curl Curl creek crossing.
Not sure if it's natural erosion or if someone has tried to "assist" the drainage, but the face of some of the water bars on the fire road section on the Allambie side after Heartbreak Hill have had some drainage ditches cut in to the bottom of the face.
It makes for a pretty harsh hit if you're not expecting it. Manualling didn't work very well. 
Some f-wit has removed the signs again that warn of the gap jump at the bottom of the Aquatic Centre track on the extended loop. I mean, seriously, who does that? FFS. 
Other than that, all good. Enjoy. The new section near the Hydraulics Lab is much easier than it looked when I walked it a few weeks ago. Haven't tried the gap jump yet.
Do you have more information?

Love your work hawkeye
Bummer about that sign being removed. Rode the dam for the first time in about 9 months having recovered from an ACL reconstruction... was hammering down when I realised the track had changed... fair enough I thought it has been a while until I had to anchor when I realised I had no idea what was beyond that bit. All in all no biggie but a sign would have been nice. Great to get back on the bike though.
Anyone ridden the new section along the north side of the parkway- Thoughts? sort of goes nowhere atm, good little ride, then up on the parkway and ride down the road to the dam. Im guessing this will eventually either join half way down the firetail or pop out at Trigg.
