Watch out on duck and chiltern trails
Just a heads up that Chiltern and all of Duck are now legal horse trails again ( horses were locked out in the 80s).
The horsey community seem pretty excited for obvious reasons so expect more of them out on these trails and please slow down/stop for them...as in be aware!
Cheers

More signs needed on Gahnia and Serrata
I think there needs to be a few more signs put up on these tracks , Gahnia needs one at the exit telling people that is oneway and also a MTB track and the Serrata needs the same at the intersection of the walking track halve way down.
Saw some old digger walking up the track the other day and turned around and there is absolutely no signs saying not to walk it. He may have escaped the retirement village .
Gahnia article is up on Flow
Nice description for those who haven't had a chance to ride it yet - http://flowmountainbike.com/post-all/new-trail-g...
Which is more technical between Gahnia and Serrata
Having ridden Gahnia recently on the 2nd (after a big new years eve and day seemed my sense of balance left me)
Found Gahnia to be a excellent trail but very technical which tested my courage.
For those who have ridden both new trails in Gahnia and Serrata which in their opinion is the more technical trail?
Lost Camelback at Manly Dam 2nd Jan
Hey guys and gals.
I left my camelback on one of the timber beams outside the Manly water plant on King St (Manly Dam) last Friday night 2nd Jan after a ride at approx. 6.45pm. It's dark blue and had some tools, pump and a personal item of sentimental value. I am happy to pay a reward for it's return.
Thanks.
Has anyone ridden Gahnia without clipping out - technical skills, not speed
Just want to know how many of you have ridden Gahnia without clipping out, touching the ground, stopping & leaning on a tree..... you get the picture.
I've ridden twice & had 3 or 4 per ride. Combination of walking down a steep rock + loss of balance & clipping out.
I'd be surprised if more than 50% of riders could get through with a 'clean lap', regardless of time.
Not wanting to downgrade anyones skills....just curious.
Cheers
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 
Red Hill Fire Trail Gates
First it was a great technical downhill (from the rock carvings)
next some heavy earthmoving equipment turned it into a fun downhill with air opportunities (I dont dispute the necessity of safe and ready access of the RFS to fight fires)
Then the effective use of tax payer funds to bugger up everyones fun with a gate that would stop a Sherman Tank in the middle nowhere. (At the start of the climb to the rock carvings/turn off to top of Cromer)
Go figure!
