Can anyone please recommend any tracks that hold up well after all this rain?

Morning gents,
keen for a ride tomorrow morning, but after all this rain, not sure which tracks are not too wet. I have ridden the Perimeter track a couple of times after its rained and found it lots of fun, although a few puddles, but hey, isnt getting dirty some of the fun? Manly dam I see is closed, how about Bairne or can someone recommend other trails? I'm relatively new to MTB so something around intermediate level, thanks!

A BIKE rider, 50, died on the Hornsby mountain bike trail last Saturday.

Police said the Waitara man had previously experienced chest pains and was found collapsed on the southern section of the trail by two riders around 7pm.

They noticed minimal damage to his helmet and bike and performed CPR until ambulance paramedics arrived.

He was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Access to LCNP via Vimiera Road

Hi, I heard that the access to LCNP via Vimeria Road under the M2 was closed at some time due to roadwork. Can anyone tell me if this is open ? I am planning to take my wife, daughter there for a cycle, how challenging are the trails there as I havent ridden there before.

Thanks

Doug

Hornsby Quarry Rd Trails

As there is no trail status update (or trail available to update) I thought I'd add one!

Trails at Hornsby are in great condition.

My first time up there and the decent from the car park to the bottom is pretty sweet!

Big thanks to those who build and maintain this track and I'm looking forward to seeing the planned extensions Smiling

Most pleasant route between City and Turramurra

Hey Fellas,
Just wondering how you folk North of the bridge manage to ride between city and Turramurra without using the Pacific Highway?.
I rode out last week from city to Turramurra, BH,GG, BW, BH, back to Turramurra which was really nice, but the Pacific Highway between North Sydney and Turramurra was horrible, Any tips on how to avoid it?
Cheers String
