Taken out by a Wallaby

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

The key point is that if you hear Wallabys when riding particularly at night, it would be great to stop. The second is that riding alone at night in the bush really should be done with a lot of care.

Linking Oxford Falls to Terrey Hills

Does anyone know of a decent link through Oxford Falls to Terrey Hills. Happy to hike a bit if there's a connecting trail that is not legal for bikes....

Hi all,

I'm writing this as both a mountain biker and as a member of the Beacon Hill Rural Fire Brigade (located near the bottom of Willandra Rd).

Manly Dam-One Way Trail?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

So I have been riding Manly Dam regularly for about a year now, and have always believed it was a one way trail. I was out riding on Saturday arvo when I encountered two riders riding up the hill as I was descending (quickly I might add), when I rounded a corner and had to slam on my brakes to avoid a collision. I told them they were riding the wrong way, continued riding, but later on as I was finishing my lap, I encountered them again still going the wrong way.

I suppose what I'm asking is:
1. Am I wrong in saying Manly Dam is one way?
2. Is this common?

Black Snake

So I was taking one of my regular rides down the Cascades yesterday afternoon and at the bottom of one of the short steep descents a 1 metre black snake was crossing the trail ahead of me. I saw him early and had plenty of time to ease up and let him go about his business. But I was wondering how common are snakes on the Beaches? Does anyone here avoid riding solo on weekdays for this reason? It kind of freaked me out.

Do you have a video of the Heath / Bare Creek Single Track?

Hi Guys

Does anyone have POV video of the Heath / Bare Creek Single Track?

How would you compare it to other single track descents in the area?

Cheers

Womens MTB course, Sydney area

hey guys
I am away for 6 weeks, and I would like to surprise my girl with a couple of lessons/skills sessions to help her out on the bike, is there anyone around that runs them? and no this is not a chance for you to pick her up!!! haha
She knows the basics, has ridden terrey hills, duckhole, warratah, and ourimbah, but i think she could do with someone else's opinion.
