Oxford Falls downhill companion?
Thought id give Oxford falls downhill a go the other afternoon and, although very rusty and wary over most of the coarse, thoroughly enjoyed it. Only problem being the lack of lift up again ,which basically meant i only managed two runs before tiring!
So just mondering if anybody would be intersted in meeting once a week, preferably on an afternoon (im a tradie so can be there for 4ish) for some runs and we can use my ute with atleast three bike potential for an uplift. As i say i am no sam hill by any means, but enjoyed it all the same.

Terry Hills - hard to find/follow?
Hey All,
I've read the trail-guide to the Terry hills ride/s, and wanted to know, as this would be my first go around there (prob. Sunday morning) will it be hard for me to find/follow the trails?
Manly dam was easy enough to work out, but would appreciate it if someone could let me know whether I can tackle it by myself the first time...
thanks!
Bubbler/water fountain at manly dam
I went to manly dam for the first time today, pretty impressed, wish there was more northshore and skinny stuff but pickers can't be choosey. Anyway i was wondering if anyone knows of places to fill up water bottles around the trail? i haven't yet got a bladder so i've only got like 600mls.
thanks

Narrabeen Lake loop - help?
So i'm looking at doing the nice flat Narra Lake loop this weekend with my g/f and possibly other friends.
Now I know the majority of the way around but i'm still a bit unclear on where you go after the Sports Centre....
On exiting the Centre you have to ride along Wakehurst Pky for 'about 500m' in an easterly direction, then take a dirt road to the left somewhere to make your way to the foot bridge over the creek, correct? Is this left turn off Wakehurst Pky in between the two road bridges? Is the course i roughly plotted on the image below about right?
Manly Dam Open
Just got this mail from Nicole. I find it odd to be honest, and reckon the Dam will be a bog, but the official word is...
Could you guys please spread this email around your mtb email contacts advising that Manly Dam will be open for riding this weekend? I have a feeling that they wont get the email sent out before the weekend.
Thanks
Nicole

Wet Weather - Please Avoid Manly Dam
We've not heard anything from the rangers, but given this week has been one of the wettest all year (see weather and look at the 6-ish month graph) think it would be wise to avoid Manly Dam at the moment.
Sorry folks, it's easy for those of us heading down South to say, but really think you're going to find a boggy mud fest at Manly if you ride there.
Sign at Bantry Bay
I was at the Dam today and went over the Bantry Bay. There is now a no bikes sign at the start of the singletrack. It also has a little comment about it being a Aboriginal site.
Is this new? It's been a fair few weeks since I been there.
Unfortunately I still saw plenty of bikes riding out of there who obviously ignored the signs.
