Future improvements to Manly Dam?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Forgive me if this has been widely discussed but I couldn't find anything.

I'm somewhat aware of the inability we have when it comes to input regarding to Manly Dam. From the discussions I've read here the rangers at this stage aren't interested in suggestions we've made and are more interested in sustainability and safety for multi-use.

Oxford Falls

I was out riding around Oxford Falls on the weekend and noticed that the fences blocking the cross country track had been cut down. Is this vandalism or is it something the Parks have done?

Training for Angry Doctor

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any recommendations for some long trail k's that don't have to be done multiple times like Manly Dam and not as easy as Terry Hills? I'd prefer to train around the northern beaches but to my understanding most trails would need to be rode a few times to get anywhere near 100km, I think I'd quit due to boredom if I had to ride the dam 10 times to get to 100km.

Thanks for any tips.

Narrabeen Lakes loop

A number of weeks ago I was keen to check out the loop so I could take my missus around it. It was the first time I had gone around and got to the creek crossing (to get to the golf course with the concrete weer to walk across) and came to a gate with a chain and padlock. Have I got the correct spot? I followed the 'sheep track' across the clearing as per my mates instructions.

I didn't go any further than this gate and headed back to the terminus.

I've now got my missus bike finished and want to get her out and about.

Cheers

Manly Dam - Green, Amber or Red?

Has anyone been around the dam and seen what the condition of the track is like? Also, how are the works progressing?

Keen for a few laps tomorrow but will avoid unless it's all good news.

Similar Trails Like Manly Dam?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hello,
I'm new to the area but have been riding Manly Dam weekly now for the last 2 months and starting to get bored with it. Wondering if there are any similar trails around the area (up to an hour away from Sydney) that compare to Manly Dam? I'm not a big fan of fire roads but love single tracks. Looking for any trails that are about the same or more technical than Manly Dam? I tried searching but didn't really come up with much. Any advice on some new trails I could check out would be appreciated. And if it's a confusing trail, meeting up and having someone show me the trail would rock.
