Northern Beaches
Anyone checked out the Dam?
Obviously there has been a bit of rain about in the last month or so but the last week has been *mostly* dry and very windy which tends to dry things out around here. Anyone checked out the Dam in the last week and have info about the state that it is in (water wise, I know it needs some love)? I could walk up the road and have a look but then again, nah.
Massive Northern Beaches ride map
I have seen on this site that there have been a few "massive northern beaches" rides in the past that look like they must be upwards of 50 to 100 kms without much, if any, going over the same ground. Does anyone have a map, GPS read-out or something plotted on Google Maps, from one of these rides? I am keen to get out and have a really long ride but I get bored to blazes going over the same old ground multiple times in one ride.
Unknown Track at Ingleside?
Hey Guys,
I've been doing some desktop exploring & came across this firetrail in Google Earth that doesn't appear to be listed on the site.
http://maps.google.com.au/?ie=UTF8&ll=-33.690281...
It appears to be a simple out & back firetrail about 2km long through some National Park, that follows the ridgeline to a point overlooking Deep Creek.
Has anybody ever ridden this trail, that can provide some info about whether its any fun?
It looks like it probably runs mostly downhill, so the return ride might be bit of a granny-gear slog.
New gate at Ralston and Elm...
Just back from a night ride and saw this new gate - almost invisible at night!
There is a gap on the right to get in but no signs or info.
I guess they are trying to keep out the MX bikes and stop the dumping along near the EA substation.
I usually ride through here to get to Cascades.
Anyone know any more info on this?
2 creeks?
I went for a bit of an exploring ride early this morning and i think i started at the otherside of the two creeks track. very interesting ride. There was about 5km's of fire trail until it turned into single track at which that point i turned home (no time). Ive put the ride u on google maps but just wondering if it does connect up to 2 creeks and rosevill and if not where? Funnily enough thinking none went there i ran into a person on a rush, and some hardtail doing the exact same thing i was.
Trail for 7 year old?
Beyond Terrey Hills and the local BMX track (which may be too wet), anyone have any suggestions for kid friendly trails/tracks for 7 year old ? Does Ourimbah have anything like this?
Conditions in Duffy's Forest/Wildflower?
I'd like to go on a bit of a trek around Duffys Forest/Wildflower Garden/Terrey Hills this coming weekend, but...
... given how much water was still around at the Dam yesterday (still only 'Amber' status) I'd imagine those tracks, especially behind the gun club, might be very soggy still.
Anyone been in that area lately?
Red hill
Ive been wanting to ride red hill for ages now but just need someone experienced around red hill to show me the ropes. Just so i don't really hurt myself. looking to ride it in a few weeks.
Thanks
Jono
How's this weekend looking?
So... where to go on Saturday?
I'd like to say that something around the Wildflower Garden sections might be fun but things there can't have been that dry last weekend and we've had showers most of the week to compound any wetness. That stuff back of the gun club takes a long, long time to dry and can imagine it's a bog right now.
Anyone game for another 'super easy' Terrey Hills in the morning? Or a not so super easy one if you like (DH+C+P+L+DH+C)? Later start (9-9:30?) preferred.
Email response to wet weather
I sent an email a couple weeks back when we had all the wet weather about the fact that the dam wasnt actually closed, finally got a response.
Apparently all that rain, hadn't "adversley affected the track".
