Manly Dam volunteer day - 1st Dec
Final one before the xmas slowdown!
We had a few false starts however the Manly Dam rangers have arranged to have some crushed sandstone delivered to the top of the 19th hole lead in. We’re also hoping to get some sandstone flagging delivered this week as well to help armour these badly eroded sections
Plan is to get started around 8am and knock around lunch.... please let me know if you’re up for it?
Meeting point is the end of Roosevelt Ave near the Tennis courts..
Manly Dam - volunteer trail maintenance day
Allambie Heights Tennis Courts (located at the end of Roosevelt Avenue)
After a brief delay we now have material (crushed sandstone) on site to enable the repairs to section above the 19th hole which has been badly eroded by wet weather over the 12-18mths.
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.

Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well. We've got a few options due to all the good work done in the previous months. I'd like to walk my proposed reroute of the Fall Line point with some people to get their opinions of it. That should only take 30 minutes at the most. We may be able to start cutting it in and with a good sized team possibly get it finished on the day. Another option is to do a bit of rock armouring and drainage work on the 'new' singletrack after Kings Falls Bridge from the firetrail.
Ourimbah XC maintenance
Hi Folks,
Feel like some cross training? Feel the urge to give back to the trails we love to ride? This Sunday there is a maintenance day planned to tackle the critical issues, the entry to the drop off and the top of roller coaster. Yes there are more issues to deal with and they are on the agenda. More hands means more work will get done.
Sunday 8am onward, till as long as you like!
Bring any of the following, wheelbarrow, shovel, steel rake, your bike, water, gloves and some elbow grease.
Cheers
Rob

Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well. We'll probably be cleaning up the drainage on the second half of the track - from the roll down/bridge back to the carpark. If we get enough people it would be nice to send off one team/pair to do the short reroute on the descent to the bridge while the rest work on the drains. Don't forget sunscreen, gloves and plenty of water.

Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well. We'll possibly be rerouting two sections, one on the first climb and the second on the descent to the roll down/bridge. Don't forget sunscreen, gloves and plenty of water.
