Manly Dam -Hazard Reduction Burn this weekend
two burns this weekend, one of the Allambie side of the trail near Southern Cross Way this Sunday and another tomorrow on the North Balgowlah side at Warringah St near the Nth Balgowlah School. not much by way of additional detail on the RFS site
(there's a burn happening right now (7:30pm Friday) and looks to be somewhere around Forrestville/Davidson judging by the amount of smoke I can see)....
Very Disturbing
Read in today's Manly Daily, in regards to a young fella enjoying his ride home on the Lagoon Trail at Narrabeen Lakes at around 7.30pm.
The Cyclist was Threatened and also hit with a Pole of some sorts.
The attacker has been said to be wearing a Scream Movie Mask, maybe something to keep an eye out when traveling around that area.
Manly Dam this Sunday 21 Feb
Just a heads up the trail running series is back this Sunday and I think this includes running on the Wakehurst PWY single track.
Cheers,

Terry Hills rideable?
Heading up to Terry Hills tomorrow morning and hoping to get dome dirt under the tyres. Anyone ridden up there today?
Thinking Duck Holes and Centre and/or Perimeter and Long.
Will have to stay on the black stuff if it's too muddy!
Council Amalgamations
Due to the users endless source of knowledge I have a question concerning the changes among the council system and if they will affect the development of the trails around Bantry Bay and Manly Dam?
If so will these changes be for better or worse or does anybody even know what is happening?
Thanks, Alex
Junk left on tracks...
Hi Guys
I get that things fall off bikes, and sometimes it's not until you get to the end of the track (or home) that you realise you've dropped something. However, I was pretty disappointed when riding Gahnia track the other day I saw that someone had replaced their inner tube and just chucked the old one into the bushes. I stopped to recover it, which was annoying on many levels...
Whoever did that, if you took an extra tube in, you can take the old one out too.
Let's keep the tracks clean.

Paralysis Ticks
Hi All,
The purpose of this post is to provide a heads up on a little pest I encountered on Saturday afternoon, somewhere around Bantry Bay or the track behind the nursing home that runs onto Allambie Oval.
When visiting the bathroom post ride I found one of these guys with its head burrowed into my upper thigh under my trail shorts.
Big thanks for getting me home!!
I came off my bike around lunch time yesterday on Serrata track.. gave myself a concussion and plenty of other cuts and bruises.
A good samaritan (think it may have been Gus) has helped me get home safely - when my wife was able to take me to the hospital.
If it was anyone here, or they know anyone who it was, came across me yesterday - I want to say a VERY BIG THANKYOU for your assistance. I dont even remember being on my bike, let alone the details of what happened. Without your help i don't think i would've been able to get home at all.
Wild Flower or Acron Oval to OMV
Hi All,
Is it possible to ride from Wild Flower Garden or Acron Oval to OMV through the bush?
I don;t mind a small amount of road riding but would prefer as much as possible on trails. I noticed @hawkeye did a climb fest on the weekend that looked promising... Is there a way to get from Wild Flower to the Darri Track?
