Although they don't say exactly where they will be burning

I suspect there will be no signs just like at The Dam this morning. So ride safe boys and girls.

Dh racing
This got posted over at rotorburn in response to a kid asking what he needed to know before heading to a DH race. As a race oganiser it cracked me up so I thought I'd reshare it.
OK, this is what you need to know:
1. Always stop in the most ridiculous spot possible where other riders can't see you as they approach. Trust me, they'll appreciate it.
Manly Dam update for 02 Oct
Just come back from the Dam and the main loop has just been closed from Eva's all the way to the top of the Alambie boardwalk. The RFS are backburning all day today. It will be open again tomorrow.
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.

Happy with that
Still feeling fit after the Bigfoot on the weekend, and being able to sneak in a mid week ride I thought i might as well have a bit of a crack. I was hoping to be sub 40 so was pretty happy with this time. I used the gate at the top of D/H as a start finish point.
Awaba explore
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.
I'm lucky enough to be heading up to lake Macquarie for Saturday night and have decided that a long awaited ride at Awaba is on the cards. Having never ridden there before, I'm keen as to discover the goodness created by the good folk up North.
If there is anyone who wants to join me or has any info on best tracks, I'd be keen to hear from you.
I'll be in a blue VW transporter van riding green cannondale.
Thanks Mike.
Sam Hill set to demolish the course at Newtons Nation
World Champ Sam Hill has been confirmed to compete in the 2060 Downhill MTB competition at Newton’s Nation! Reigning from WA, Sam claimed the elusive title in his second race back from major shoulder surgery, proving he cannot be stopped. Sam has taken some time off the bike to get healed and prepare for his best effort yet at Newton’s Nation.

During each session, Jason will take you through the World's course and give training, tips and advice on the more technical sections and those areas where speed and time can be increased.

Ourimbah virgins
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Enter via Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. On your right will be 'TreeTops' for the kids and it's large-ish carpark. Carry on past there and the first small clearing which is were parking used to be, and is where the 'Browns' single track turns (you might see riders on your left here).
Parking and official trail head is now designated a further 350m or so up the road where a there is a larger area. There's a CCOMTB sign here by the trail entrance (on the left as you drive up). Park up nose to curb or as directed.
Lorchio and I haven't ridden Ourimbah so we're heading up on Friday (tomorrow) to check it out. We'll be kicking off around 10am and will spend a few hours exploring.
We'll be trying out the downhill course, the XC offering and anything else we come across.
If you're around on the day we'd welcome the company and if anyone wanted to show us around it would be great.
We might see you there...
