Manly Dam Distance - 9.65 or 10.1
Have been riding with a Garmin Edge 500 for a couple of months now.
Every time I ride Manly Dam I get a distance of 10.1. The Hot Lap lists a distance of 9.65. What's going on.... Am I riding an extra 500 meters, is my Garmin dodgy, or does the trail data need to be updated?
Latest ride at
Cowan Track
Hi - does anyone know if Cowan track open to riding?
I did ride it on the weekend to get a full 50k out of 2 x P & L loops. But I was not sure with it being gated off.
Shame if it isn't it has the best view of Apple tree bay!!!
Ps:
Apologies to the Turramurra Cycling rider I nearly cleaned up on return from the Long Trail loop. Had I not had new pads and disc inserted we could of ended up in a nasty mess.

The Dam: Planned Track Maintenance
I know it is positive to see resources allocated to the upkeep of the Dam but I really hope this doesn't open these sections right up. As I see it, the problem with clearing too much vegetation from the sides of the track is that it then makes it very easy for people to steer around difficult sections, which leads to track widening and more dumbing down of the Dam.
Good Afternoon Bike Riders,
Why the trail extension at Narrabeen Lagoon is expen$ive
I know Rob has questioned the cost of the trail extension between Deep Creek and the car park near the NSW institute of sport. After watching the construction progress over the past few months I stopped this week to take a few photos.
Hills
Can anyone suggest some good places for some hill training on a trail of some sort?
Something that will have a good 5-10 minute climb on dirt.
I live near the city so can access most places in a comparable time.
Thx

What is Mnaly Dam like??
The rainfall charts show very little rain over the past few days and with the hot weather I guess it should be pretty decent. Has anyone ridden there this week?

Trail widening at Manly Dam - again
While doing a lap of the dam earlier this morning, I noticed the dreaded trail widening is starting to pop up again.
At the top of the steep boardwalk climb towards the end of the Golf Course singletrack, it looks like some folks have tried to cut a B-line around the two rock step-up. Some of the branches that had been bent and broken out of the way were still green, so it looks like it was done in the last couple of days.
