Manly Daily Wednesday Oct 7,2009
Page 6: Search for middle ground on bike use.
A proposal to allow mountain bike riders to use single trails in national parks will be one of the several topics discussed at the next meeting of the friends of warringah tonight at the North Curl Curl SLSC........

There are some interesting quotes from Richard Michell (spokesperson for Friends Of Warringah) in regards to "middle ground".
RNP Cycling Plan - Updated and requires volunteers
The below was forwarded to me by a club member and looks like good news for Royal National Park (aka. RNP, Nasho) riders.
Note that NPWS are asking for trail maintenance volunteers and offering parks passes as added incentive.
Contact the email given if you are interested. And comment here to encourage others? 
Update: The first day has been arranged, details here: http://nobmob.com/node/10201

It is a public session being run by NPWS where they will be discussing the review of the current Plan of Management. A show of support for riding in the park would very much help the cause.
Oxford Falls closed sections: where is this heading?
I went for a ride at Oxford Falls (Morgan Road) yesterday, in the rain, very early. I haven't been there for 5 years so I was a tad uncertain about where all the tracks are and how they'd look, although I used to ride there pretty regularly so I did know my way about in a general sense.
"Cycling infrastructure needs work"
Hi all,
This popped up on my uni site- regarding cycling infrastructure etc...
http://www.usyd.edu.au/news/84.html?newscategory...
And the Medical Journal of Australia editorial they are referring to...
http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/190_07_06040...
And the rather disturbing article that brought it all about...
http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/190_07_06040...
Lots of great references in there for people to use when advocating for trail infrastucture - the Medical Journal of Australia can't be wrong...
cheers,

Anyone got a copy of this? Manly Dam got a nice write up and Cupcake got himself in it not once but twice!!! Even down to the point where you can see the words "cupcake" written on his bike.
When is the next trail maintenance day on the dam?
