Please help us! Warringah Council Meeting
Warringah Council, Pittwater Rd, Dee Why
Hi all
We need support at Warringah Council chambers 6pm Tuesday 26 for Dirt Jumps.
Even if this is not your thing please show these guys some love. They are a great crew who ride and support other disciplines too. Many have helped us massively so far at TraiCare for Red Hill and Oxy, Pittwater.....
This follows on from meetings with Council about Freedom where riders agreed to work towards finding a better site.
At the moment Dave M is pencilled in for speaking on behalf of riders.
Please come and make some noise of support to show Councillors how much we need this.

I have copied Ray's original post to create this calander entry
Here's an opportunity to help out at your nearest XC race venue - ie Yellomundee Regional Park (it's only 55 minutes from Lindfield, the same time as getting to Ourimbah):
Mid week "Turgid" Lantana Lash!
Upcoming advocacy events would normally appear here, but things are a little quiet at the moment and it's empty.
Don't be shy - this is a community site so if you're out there working post your meeting.
Appin XC track maintenance
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.
Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well.
We might look at doing a bit of rock armouring and drainage work on the 'new' singletrack after Kings Falls Bridge from the firetrail. I'm pretty keen to just walk the whole track with a McLeod and clean out the drainage too. That'll take about the full 4 hours if I can't get it done before this scheduled maintenance.
Help Needed: Old Man's Valley mountain bike trail plans under threat
Hornsby Council Chambers
The NIMBYs are at it again, threatening to derail well-advanced plans for mountain bike trails in Old Man's Valley in Hornsby. If they succeed, trails could be deferred for quite some time, maybe indefinitely. We saw how that works with the watering-down of the Golden Jubilee mountain bike park and the removal of the singletrack loop.
To stop that happening again, we need to show that we are are a legitimate group, that the proposal has deep support, and that these few residents' concerns are unfounded.

Yellomundee April Lantana Lash!
Have you ever been spiked when riding past some Lantana at Yellomundee Regional Park? Well here’s a chance to extract some revenge!
NPWS in conjunction with WSMTB and BMORC are holding the inaugural Lantana Lash for MTB riders. We aim to clear a significant area close to the MTB tracks, and help stop the further spread of Lantana in the Park. Details are:
• When: Saturday 14 April, 2012, from 8am to about midday (but anytime you have free would be greatly appreciated).
