Northern Beaches
Thankyou
Just a quick note to all the riders that actually stopped or took the time to ask if they could help this morning whilst I was out riding terrey hills this morning (Perimeter track ) and the bolt on my crank arm cracked leaving me helpless and only being able to walk my bike home. It is much appreciated and also a good thing to know that there is so many people out there willing to help out.
Newbie
Hi All,
New to this site and just moved down from Brissie; keen to get out with a regular group. Are there any regular weekday and weekend groups to tag along with.
Mainly XC stuff
Cheers,
Andy
North Turramurra Mapped
Thanks to a local tour by Lach last week we've just finished mapping out trails around North Turramurra.
Overlooked for a long time, this area is actually pretty large and goes into number three spot in the Northern Beaches - areas by trail distance. Sadly the vast majority of this is firetrail of the out and back variety but it has some small pockets of single track (yes, outside of NPWS managed lands!) that add a little interest. It's a good destination for training though - some rather brutal climbs in there!
Apparently this has been made possible by some new firetrail created recently by the local council, so if steep hills are your thing, go check it out.
Dam conditions
The Trail conditions for manly dam havent been updated in 5 days so i thought i'd ask the question, how is it looking?
Wildflower Garden ride???
Happy New Year
Fellow nobmober's.....I was riding the management trail (east) around the back of the St Ives showground followed by a shortest descent to creek below, but was stopped in my tracks by what I think is the gates to the wildflower garden..... Question? How does one link up this trail with the other side (west to phillip st etc....). I did not attempt to trespass through these gates, however i did come across a single track to the right some 50m before these gates. This track is super steep, only Danny Macskill would ride down it. Is this the only trail around these gates????
Time off over xmas
I've got some time off over Christmas; I've only ever really ridden manly dam, red hill and Ourimbah. What trails should I try out close to home that is decent? single track or technical preferred.
Manly Dam "works in progress"
I came across two dudes from Warringah Council this morning (12 December, 9 am) who were removing some of those dangerous extra timber steps on the Allambie side - under the powerlines at the start of the timber track down to the 19th Hole.
A real improvement!

Frenchs Forest to Nth Ryde
I would like to start riding from home (Frenchs Forest) to work (Nth Ryde) and am looking for an interesting (ie dirt) way of doing it.
I can cut through Cascades and come out at St Ives, however I'm then left with road the rest of the way to Nth Ryde.
Does anyone know of any way of linking up with Lane Cove NP? I've been looking on Google Earth and thinking perhaps from Davidson to East Killara then across the highway to somewhere behind Gordon?
Am I doing this the hard way?
Does anyone already do this sort of trip?
Horses @ Terrey Hills
Anybody know if there tend to be many horses on the Perimiter / Long track early morning, between 7-8am?
Thought I might go for a quick blast out and back before work rather than the road option round akuna bay.
Cheers
Cowan Track now MTB Permitted
Just back from a ride at Terrey Hills and I noticed there are now signs at the entry to Cowan Track saying "MTB Bikes Permitted".
Good stuff!
Many thanks to all involved, much appreciated
