Council Amalgamations
Due to the users endless source of knowledge I have a question concerning the changes among the council system and if they will affect the development of the trails around Bantry Bay and Manly Dam?
If so will these changes be for better or worse or does anybody even know what is happening?
Thanks, Alex

LOST-Garmin 510-Manly Dam
LOST-Garmin edge 510. I was doing a dam lap, and opened my bag and forgot to close it. My Garmin has fallen out somewhere between the creek gap and the bottom of the descent where the start of the new work is being done. Please keep an eye out for it. There's a 6 pack for anyone who finds it

Manly Dam track work - Please stay off the unfinished upgrades
Rode the dam Wednesday. Tracks in pretty good shape. Coming down the path detour where the track work is being done and met the people working on the trail. They asked if all riders could stay off the unfinished ungrade. They reckon it takes hours everyday to repair the new sections that people are riding on because they arent finished yet. They said heaps of people are riding it, even when they're working on it. Its clearly marked, but I suppose some people just can't help themselves.

Manly Dam - trail work commencing next week
Despite nearly 30mm of rain in the last 24hrs the rangers have confirmed that the trial will be open for the weekend.
Some trail upgrade work will commence mid/late next week on the final section of the Allambie downhill.
Trailscapes team will be working the section from just below the white gate on the firebreak (final left hander).

Seaforth Land Sale
Saw this today - it's hard to work out but might affect the golf course ST?

Anyone have any ideas?

Off your trolley...
I came across what looks to be over 50 trolleys stashed in the bushes the other day at the dam, not far from the Parkway. My guess is the homeless guy that lives in there may be a hoarder...

Manly dam
Just wanted to say thanks to the 3 gents that donated their tube to my brother and the use of their track pump.
We had literally 10 minutes before hand donated our stuff to another rider before succumbing to a similar fate of a torn sidewall.
Mtb karma lives on.
So if it happens to be someone on this forum, get in touch, and we'll kindly reimburse you (with a 6 pack as interest)
Thanks again from the brightly coloured Cannondale boys
