Sunrise smashing cyclists
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has caught some of Sunrise this morning and the opinionated view Kochie has on cyclists. He is giving us an absolute flogging on the national TV show cause he can't stand the law breakers in our community. Neither can I, but I also can't stand a person like him in his position grouping us all in the same category. It will probably not help at all but here is an email I just sent in to the team.
Perfect Dusk ride.
Perfect temp (20 degrees) A few trees down, still safe though. Plenty of wallabies, loose rocks and sand. Treated to a great sunset whilst on the Centre track.

Dam closed tomorrow - Hazzard reduction burn at Alambie
Good afternoon Mountain Bikers,The Rural Fire Service advises that they will be conducting a Hazard Reduction burn in the Allambie Heights section of the reserve tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd December, and as such the fire trail/bike track will be closed to the public between Wakehurst Parkway and Cootamundra Drive. While other sections of the track remain unaffected, riders will not be able to complete the full circuit without considerable detour and should plan accordingly.
Regards,
Manly Dam Rangers
Late notice dam ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Late notice, going for a lap or two of Manly dam this afternoon to cancel out all the eating and drinking I've been doing of late.
Feel free to join me - I wont be on the web after 5pm.
Tenative Andoaks + Knapsack Ride, Sun 16th Jan
Hoping to schedule a cemented Anderson's + Oaks ride, finishing at Knapsack reserve on this day departing Lapstone train station (to beat the Glenbrook crowd). Please comment if interested.
First time under 40 with the Garmin... think the iPhone was being kind...
THis is the first time under 40 using the Garmin.... I have logged a 35 although was using GPS with the iPhone.... will have to go back and have a look at the data... bugger that I can't compare it.
Manly Dam update for 21 Dec
Very good conditions! There are some sandy sections to watch for and a small amount of water in the usual sections.
Apart from that rode at mid-day in 33 degree heat which probably wasn't the best idea. Would be great for a late afternoon ride once the temp drops a bit.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.
