Looking for trail courses for hire/permission on Northern Beaches
Hi riders
I'm hosting a National Unicycle competition on the Northern Beaches in October and one of the disciplines is Mountain Unicycling (Muni). You may have seen some of us round the Dam/Red Hill 
I've heard the Dam is next to impossible to 'hire' or have approval for an organised race. So was wondering if you knew of any other trails in the areas that can be used for an organised race/meet.
Many thanks
Bikers ... a charming bunch
This morning dawned overcast and perfect to screw our courage to the sticking point and give Manly Dam track a try. My girl friend and I have been cycling gently for about a year. Nothing too energetic, and more often than not, around Narrabeen Lagoon, but we've kept going. This was a quantum leap, and we hoped to survive.
Roadies hitting the trails
Saw one of the more interesting sites on manly dam today. As I was heading up heart break a guy on a roadie was coming down. I wonder if someone was inspired by road bike party!!!
Trail ettiquette
Excuse the rant but I felt compelled to share.
I was very busy out on the Perimeter and Long Tracks today everybody from Mum-n-Daugther to the boys clearing 4 metres off the water bars, horses, walkers you name it.
There was plenty of give and take on the trail with the vast majority of riders ensuring everyone had a great time .. but
On 2 occasions I was forced off the trail by riders 2 abreast coming at me who totally refused to yield. I also came up on one group riding 2 wide in the sandpit area, the irony was not 100m earlier was a sign saying keep left unless overtaking.
Chopper dropping building materials in Bantry Bay
Update on Bantry Bay. I had a letter box drop yesterday advising of helicopters operating today and next Friday due to trail building
I wasn't home today but apparently it was running non stop from 09:00 to 3:30 today.
So all good signs that trail construction is about to kick off.
Manly Dam getting $110000 upgrade!
I can't see that this has been posted yet, but I just found this on Council website. $110000 to be spent on track work commencing May June!

Oxford falls
Hey guys,
Anyone keen for a ride at oxy tomorrow. Never ridden there but keen to check it out.
Ryland / St Ives Sniggle / Muppets
I'm concerned about St Ives Sniggle and Muppets being overridden in the wet. I was there on Saturday afternoon and it was a complete mud fest in certain spots and new lines were being created around the problem spots.
I know this trail gets ridden a lot by families as well as a link between Terry Hills and Cascades but isn't going to hold up to constant riding in these conditions.
Will this ever become a proper MTB trail as well as a horse trail and if so who will manage it? I would be willing to help out.
