Manly Dam ride on Boxing Day?
Am thinking about a training ride on Sunday morning around Manly Dam to blow the cobwebs out and burn off a bit of the lard accumulated the previous day. 
Forecast for the 26th was 33 degrees last time I looked, so starting on the early side would probably be better. Pace will probably be around the 45-50 minute mark. Would like to do two, and perhaps three laps depending on how I'm feeling.
Any takers?

Dam closed tomorrow - Hazzard reduction burn at Alambie
Good afternoon Mountain Bikers,The Rural Fire Service advises that they will be conducting a Hazard Reduction burn in the Allambie Heights section of the reserve tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd December, and as such the fire trail/bike track will be closed to the public between Wakehurst Parkway and Cootamundra Drive. While other sections of the track remain unaffected, riders will not be able to complete the full circuit without considerable detour and should plan accordingly.
Regards,
Manly Dam Rangers
Northern Beaches Link up
I was out at Oxford falls last night and wondering about how you could link up the 4 areas. If you started on a loop of Manly - could you ride through Bantry Bay (fire trail) down through Killarney Heights to the Roseville Chase bridge - up the river into Garigal Cascades - up past the tip over SH3 into St Ives - through Terry Hills, back down the downhill into Oxford falls, down through deep creek and into Red Hill via the NSW sports institute - back up Red Hill to Lady Penryn Drive and along the road to Allaambie Heights and finish. Is any of this illegal?
Riders needed for Manly Dam photo oportunity - tomorrow!
Now... although Manly Dam is closed I've been contacted by a photog who's looking for some pictures of riders in a bush setting with lighting.
This is a rather urgent requirement as they are looking to take some shots tomorrow evening (that's the Dec 8th) at dusk. I'm assuming that would be somewhere around 8pm.
I think this is something to do with an advocacy campaign so would be in riders interest to help out. Although I understand what a PITA it would be to kit up and get out there not to be able to ride was hoping some locals wouldn't mind taking a little time tomorrow to do that.

Tried a gopro helmet cam at red hill.
If you endure long enough, about half way in there is an OTB sequence. Ouch!

Update from Manly Dam Rangers
Dear Riders,Due to the amount of sunshine we have been experiencing the track is finally drying up. We are still experiencing an extreme level of non-compliance, which of course, makes it extremely tricky to get the track ready for use again. Thank you for all of you who do not use the track during this time. We are open to suggestions regarding reaching more people about track closure and its importance.
Thanks to the unidentified rider/ambo
I'd like to say a public thank you to the guy who stopped to help us last Tuesday evening when we were riding the Perimeter Trail.
where in Lane Cove is this?
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know which trail this is in Lane Cove NP?
Thanks
