Oxford Falls DH - Meeting 7 October
Dear all, I have just received the following email and thought I'd better spread the word.
Development in Cromer Heights / Red Hill / Oxford Falls
Hi everyone,
I know I am very new here, but I wanted to spread the word about something which may effect you guys along with the residents of Cromer Heights and Red Hill.
Some of you may have biked from the Cromer Connector up through to red hill, however what you may not know is part of that land is crown and part of it is owned by Cromer Golf course. Anyway Cromer golf course has decided to flog the land for development which will pritty much put an end to some of the great mountain biking in the area plus throw a ton of car's into the mix.

Sydney's drivers 'worst' for bike rage
August 2, 2008
SYDNEY drivers are more hostile towards cyclists than motorists of any other country, says a world authority on transport.
Christian Wolmar, a Briton who was invited by the State Government to promote bicycle use in NSW, said Sydney's cycling infrastructure is 10 years behind that of London.
