Lower mountains eastern escarpment trails
Hi,
I am a year 11 student currently doing a research project for geography. It involves picking an issue in your local area and researching it and providing the results in the form of a 10 minute presentation.
I have chosen to do mine on the Blue Mountains eastern escarpment bike trails as it interests me and i have seen the issue reported numerous times in the local paper.
I was wondering if anyone has any information, links, contacts ect. That would be able to help me with this work.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
As you would be aware, Ku-ring-gai Council has recently put some signs up the top of the trail implying that it is an approved bike track. This is however not entirely the case. It was apparently too well built, to justify the cost of destroying it so they put the signs in as a temporary measure.

"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the Ordinary Meeting of 10 December 2008 Council considered the Executive Manager

Strategy and resolved to adopt the Strategy, to further investigate the development of
mountain bike trails within the Hornsby local government area and to report to Council the
results of investigations into mountain bike trails.
Hydraulics Lab descent - new Council-constructed steps
These are the new steps built by Council on the last technical descent from Allambie approaching the Hydraulics Lab.
As you can see, they impinge into the trail with sharp protruding corners, so be aware of this hazard, especially when the boards are damp.
Yes, I wonder too about the quality of Council's risk assessment process. I'm guessing in this case there was none applied.

"Last month's meeting was cancelled but we're on for this month!
Wednesday 7th October at Seaforth Oval clubhouse at 7:30pm.
The Mayor and other councillors will be attending and we need riders (and their families) to attend to show them that we still want a dirt jump/pump track facility in seaforth.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
Cheers, Dave"
