Manly Dam Bike Track Open
I'm relaying this message from the Rangers, if you have any questions please email them direct at the address below.
The bike trail at Manly Dam has re-opened.
Many thanks to all for keeping off the trail during this very wet period.
Nicole
P.S. Don't forget the bike trail maintenance day at Manly Dam has been organised for Sunday 17th September 2006.
Manly Dam Closed
Updated - Aug 14
We've had a mail from the rangers this morning, "The dam is still closed for riding as there are some trouble spots that still have not dried out. We will be having discussions this week about the re-opening and will inform the riders..."
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if this glorious weather keeps up perhaps it will be back on at the weekend.
See the comments on this post for details of how you can help out with the maintenance day at Manly Dam on September 17th.
Manly Dam, Back on
Hey guys, I was wondering if Manly Dam was open yet as I was thinking of going down there for a ride sometime today.
Northern Beaches Epic
Has anybody else noticed this 5hr: 45min journey around our favourite local trails?
Is was posted a while back by our comrades at Manly Warringah MTB.

This would be a good training ride leading up to the Highland Fling.
Anybody keen to give it a go as the fling date gets closer?

Jump track at Seaforth
Hey guys, well this is my first post so I hope that I have done it right. I just wanted to tell some people about a huge jump park made up at Seforth. Me and my brother were riding there just this arvo.
The track is near Seaforth Public school in one of the side tracks. It is not that hard to spot the tracks however you have to follow them for a bit to be able to see the actuall course. (DO NOT DO THIS AT SPEED)Some these jumps are about 7-9 foot!! its hard to tell on the rough course.
Now you may ask why am I posting a topic on Dirt jumping on a Mountain Bike site? well the reason is that there are many smaller kickers which are more skill jumps which let you get a better feel for your bike and help with balance and coordination in those tight spots. That was the main reason that I thought that i would post this. It can be an assett when you are just about to drop down a 4-5 footer and you know that you are going to stay on your bike even if you do clip that root over there.
Manly Dam
Hello
I would really like to do the Manly Dam ride but I don’t have a clue about it – I know everyone says you can’t get lost but I think I could – would anyone be at all interested in doing a ride there on the weekend?
MEEE 
DH track on the St Ives side
There is also an excellent DH single track starting at the top of the St Ives side. You can see where it joins the fire road (Upper Cascades) just after the junction with the upper Cambourne track when you are heading towards St Ives. It continues downward from there via 2 different STs that join up further down and come out onto the Cascades track. You will see the enrance to these on the left hand side of the Cascades track opposite the ST on the right hand side as mentioned previously.
Save Belrose
This morning whilst with our horses at the beginning of Cascades we met a lady who is on the committee trying to save Belrose from being developed into netball courts and houses - they want to take the top area where you ride in and also partway down Heath Track...they keep changing the amount of hectares - upwards of course!
If I find out more information and post it on the site along with a letter to be sent to the Council to oppose this would you all be interested in objecting? My sister runs marathons and they train down there too - we think everyone who does outside sports needs to band
If you head down Bibbenluke
If you head down Bibbenluke Track, insead of going straight down to the water you can take the track to the left, it goes down the hill and across a creek (when the weather is good) although there are big flat rocks so its nice, then up the hill where you will come out behind the Duffy's Forest Bush Fire Brigade - to the left is the way back out to the road - you will have the public horse arena on your right.
