St Ives sniggle

A can of worms about to be opened perhaps? But a few questions about the sniggles parallel with Mona Vale Rd between the Wild Flower Garden and Forest Way turn-off:
1. Are these trails legal?
2. Who is/are the landholder(s)
3. Who built these tracks?
4. If legal, can I help maintain them? If not, then I don't want to be caught trespassing!

Over to the brains trust...

Bare Creek Bike Park Plan

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Just spot that on http://www.trailflix.com.au

The Belrose Waste Management Centre (BWMC) in Northern Sydney ceases landfilling municipal solid waste no later than November 2014 and an exciting opportunity will emerge to redevelop the site for recreational uses. Previous (preliminary) planning investigations and community consultation have confirmed a demand for a bike park at this site and an Enhancement Fund of approximately $3.5 million will be available to turn this vision into a reality.

What is the history behind Eva's Track being banned for cyclists? The most direct route to Allambie Rd appears to be fire trail?

Red Hill Trail Works

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all

Some may have noticed that fire trail work is being undertaken by Soil Conservation Services from Cromer Road. SCS is State Government and under Department of Lands.

We met with them after work on Friday when we had both knocked off and did a walk through.

Their scope is from Cromer Road down to the bitumen road that goes from the turnstile to Drop Zone. The works are currently incomplete and there are around 22 water bars going in to control water.

IMBA Manly Dam audit

Hi all

We have been meeting with Warringah Council discussing this proposed audit and it has just been announced that IMBA are the successful applicant to their request for quote.

This is great news to finally get an mtb specialist to take a look at the place to guide future works.

It is likely this may begin this month including some rider consultation.

We will keep you all updated.
