Please do not park in this car park.

Dirt Nights
Forestville Ferrets Clubhouse, end of Currie Road, Forestville
“Dirt nights” is held on the last TUESDAY of every month so that MTB riders, Clubs, trail builders and suppliers can meet up for a social evening to chat about bikes, trails, tricks and tips.
If you’re a beginner or just want to learn more about mountain biking, this is also a great opportunity to meet up with other riders and learn more about this exciting sport.
Feel free to come along for the get together opportunity or incorporate this event into an evening ride. Nearby trails include Manly Dam, Ghania and Serrata.
Glenbrook social ride - Knapsack
Glenbrook Park. In the small car park opposite the shops.
A loop around Knapsack Reserve + the Lapstone deTour track if interested.
All welcome!!
OMV Bike & Field Festival
End of Quarry Road, Hornsby - Parking is well signposted, directing cars to park at the END of the road. If this is full, park in the Dural Street carpark.
From SNORC.
Unfortunately, due to logistical issues, they were forced to make it coincide with the Fling weekend which is a real shame, but hopefully those "non-Flinger" can make it a great event!

Hi Tristan
SNORC IS TEAMING UP WITH HORNSBY COUNCIL AND THE SPOKES PEOPLE TO PRESENT THIS YEARS OLD MANS VALLEY BIKE & FILM FESTIVAL
Saturday Fling Training - Part II
End of Quarry Road, Hornsby - Parking is well signposted, directing cars to park at the END of the road. If this is full, park in the Dural Street carpark.
A group training ride - starting with a couple of warm-up laps of OMV, then Quarry Track, Old Northern Rd to Cherrybrook, some trails and single track around Cherrybrook, then back to Pennant Hills via Stringybark Ridge, then Westleigh before returning to OMV.
As a guide, the pace will be set around the "3-hour half fling" mark. Of course even if you're not racing the Fling you're welcome!
The plan is to step up the pace a bit compared to the first training ride we did...
There are water stops along the way - I usually go with one bottle only.
OMV Trackwork Day
End of Quarry Road, Hornsby - Parking is well signposted, directing cars to park at the END of the road. If this is full, park in the Dural Street carpark.
To keep Sydney's most popular MTB track in its best condition, it needs a bit of TLC each month, and that will be on Saturday. Meet at the trackhead, and the tools will all be provided. A good opportunity to mix with other MTBers!
The more the merrier!
