Anywhere rideable this weekend?
Is there anywhere where it'll be dry enough to do some decent riding this weekend?
Many dam?
Cascades?
Perimeter - long?

UST 26" tyres
I am curious what others are riding on around Manly Dam. I have a set of UST 'The Captain' specialized and they have a tight set of center knobs and they tend to loose traction really easily of the sandy rocky step ups. I am over the whole Schwable thing, what about the maxxis? What are you using?

Little Manly Dam clip
Went out for a ride yesterday at the Dam, being the glorious weather that it was, thought i would take the chest mount GoPro with me that i bought for Skiing and made a little clip. My riding isnt anything special, but it may help you through your day at the office

Hello from Freshwater
Hi everyone!
I'm Gaz from the UK. Been living in Sydney just over a year now. Did the Manly Dam track a few weeks ago and loved it. One of the best tracks I have ever done I loved all the different variations on it.
If anyone local fancies a ride i'd be up for it as I don't know that many people over here and I haven't a clue where any other decent tracks are.
Cheers
Catch ya later
Condition of Terry Hills
Looks like we are going to have a relatively dry week. Will this be enough for Perimeter and Long Track to be rideable on the weekend?
Manly Dam
Anyone been round the dam recently? - thinking about an afternoon paddle. 2.4 tyres should be enough to hydroplane?

Incident report
Hi all. Just putting it out there, if any of the riders on Pittwater Rd, narrabeen thru mona vale, this morning at around 11:30am, whom where the subject of a very deliberately dangerous, red "p" plate truck driver... In the bus lane... Myself and my wife observed plenty of examples of dangerous driving. I know a guy on an emc managed to get his numberplate before he sped off again... And he wasn't this truck drivers only target...
Feel free to contact me as a witness if any of the affected riders happen to be reading this.
