Perimeter Trail Update?
Does anyone have an update for the state of Perimeter trail near the golf course ie; have the hanging trees been cleared yet or is it still a no go area? Thanks
Cascades Downhill Ouch!
Went for a quick and easy ride around Cascades. I often go out for a 35-40 minute 10k loop, and leave pump, phone at home. I thought my front tyre was a bit low, probably just under 20 psi (tubeless), it has a slow leak, and been a while since I topped with Stans, but thought I would take it easy.
Went in from Ralston, enjoying the scenery at slow pace, then stepped it up. Got past the sandy downhill corner into the steep drop into concrete/creek bend. I went a bit too close to the concrete edge and put on Front brakes and pulled bars left and the front end wiped out at speed.

Brown Snake
Had an unfortunate encounter with this fellow today on the main trail at Red Hill.
Was walking the dog and unfortunately I think he was bitten.
At the Vet's currently and hopefully seems to be ok.
After $1000+ of anti-venom it would seem that his days as a trail dog are over!
Be aware. They're out there.
Cheers
Access from Morgan Rd Fire Trail
All - Having never ridden Oxford falls.
Can I access Wakehurst Parkway, from the Deep Creek eastern end of the trail. (Legally of course).
Or do I simply turn around and ride the way in.

Cyclists on the Narrabeen Lagoon Trail
We received this letter from the Mayor of Warringah last night.
Please note the Mayor's concerns and remember to always be courteous to other trail users. I have updated the General Trail Etiquette page as is suggested.

Poor bloke
To the poor bloke who had a nasty stack at the big drop off on manly dam tonight I hope your ok. Few fellow bikers already there and paramedics. I had to stop and offer help it just didn't feel right to just leave especially as he was in a stretcher and neck brace. Anyhow I hope your ok.

Altering someone else's trail
I never rant and I'll try not to here...
Please don't alter tracks to make them easier, if you can't ride something, keep practicing until you can.
It's dangerous and it's plain disrespectful to the person that built the trail.
Luckily I didn't crash tonight but someone had moved a rock at the bottom of a very steep roll off and i managed to spot it last second only because I had slowed down to show a mate the best way down.
