Discarded Tubes Manly Dam
To the individuals discarding their tubes on the trails at Manly Dam today or anywhere, sort your selves out. Surely if you are prepared enough to have spares with you and take the time to replace a flat ! take your rubbish with you. I picked up one at the eightenth hole and one at the playground.

....link deleted...
amazing how many first class tracks we have on our doorstep. just got to string them together.
broke a spoke on 'bunnings' and the left pedal in red hill otherwise sub 6 might have been possible.
Red Hill accident?
It's 10.10 and a chopper has just landed on the rocks at Red Hill near the sports academy.
If you know anyone riding up here, you might want to call and check on them.

Halloween Ride
A good fun ride the old Full Moon Ride. Except the Moon didnt come out until 9pm... And i was having a beer and a schnitzel by then.
And the track was a giant sand pit... Im sure i heard some one say they hadnt ridden in so much sand since they were on a beach in Byron Bay with Jennifer Hawkins..."
Actually it was a surreal ride - thanks to what was left after back burning got a little out of hand... Everything - burnt. Badly.
But what did come out was a bunch of weird things...
A scary lefty...
Terry hills hazard reduction burn - trail status wanted
Hi,
Any Terry Hills locals know if Perim and Long will be open for the weekend after the hazard reductions burns? The RFS website still lists it as a going concern and the track status is red on this site.
Any updates for the w/e?

Manly Dam unauthorised changes - STOP IT!!!!!
To the f**kwits who keep placing rocks on the a-lines at Manly DAM to dumb it that for ruining my ride today, FUCKING UP MY BIKE, costing me $500, and stopping me riding for the next 2 weeks while I get it fixed. If you can't ride a line get off your bike and walk. Just stop fucking up the trail for those who can ride it.
Look Out At The Dam
Finished the Dam today about 11am and some muppet on a motorcross came tearing out from the labs at a good pace.
He went up towards the school and looped back down King St, then headed straight down the exit of the dam, over the small bridge and up the steps / wooden slats (from what I could tell by the sound of the engine).
He didn't stop to see if anyone was coming down and would have done some damage had he collided with anyone.
Manly Hot Lap
I was out for a ride last night with a mate and we were talking about our declining times around Manly Dam. I still enjoy this as a barometer for my overall bike fitness/technique etc as it encompasses a bit of everything rather than just outright climbing speed and fitness. However over the last 5 years I've never been able to get back to my fastest times - I haven't necessarily been fitter or less fit than in the past - I don't race but ride a lot, so have written it off to getting older (41).
Lost dog.

Not mine but I thought it wouldn't hurt to share the link.
