Another ride Sunday 20 July 08
Hey all. If there is anyone else that wants to ride with another person or two this Sunday 20 July i am planning a smaller, faster alternative to the social Terry Hills ride. Somewhere around northern Sydney - Cascades, Manly Dam, Dural or Ourimbah maybe. I ride an entry level hardtail but at a decent pace and for a couple hours at least. Post back if you're interested or get my mobile phone no. from my profile. Have a good weekend! P.s. There is a very small chance i will have to cancel if i can't get a rim tuned by Sun, which is another reason i was keeping this informal.
Manly Dam Open
Just got this mail from Nicole. I find it odd to be honest, and reckon the Dam will be a bog, but the official word is...
Could you guys please spread this email around your mtb email contacts advising that Manly Dam will be open for riding this weekend? I have a feeling that they wont get the email sent out before the weekend.
Thanks
Nicole
Manly Dam Maintenance Days Will Return!
Just spoke to a ranger at Manly Dam and there's some good news...
Seems like they are in the process of hiring a replacement for Nicole and this replacement will hopefully be starting within a month or so. The rangers definitely want to continue to work with riders on trail maintenance and appreciate all of the interest. With another person on board this should mean that can happen once more.
So give the newbie a chance to settle in and start arrangements. Not sure of course, but maybe this means within a couple of months the maintenance days will return?
In the mean time a bit of common sense is still required when thinking of riding around there. The track is still officially closed and would think it'll be at least another week before it dries out, even longer if the weather stays bad.
Manly Dam Closed Due to Wet Weather
It is now official...
Manly Dam mountain bike track has been closed due to rain. We will inform you of opening as conditions improve. Please assist by advising other riders of the closure.
Thanking you

Lost Helmet and Gloves at Manly Dam, Sat. May 3rd
If anybody found a helmet and a pair of fox gloves at the end of the trail at the Hydraulics lab about 4:45 Sat afternoon please contact the plonker who left them on the top of his car and drove off! I went back about 20mins later and they weren't there so I'm hoping some kind soul picked them up for me. 
I was in a black Golden Eagle Jeep and there were 2 seperate guys who finished about the same time parked across the road. If you have the equipment please get my details from my profile and contact me.
Cheers,
Andy.
