Northern Beaches HR Burns update - Track & Road Closures
News just in from the local rangers:
This weekend, Sept 19th-20th, a major HR burn in will be undertaken in the Smith Creek – Cottage Point area of the Northern Beaches Area.
Therefore the following road / track closures will be in place:
* General San Martin Drive from the intersection with McCarrs Creek Road to Akuna Bay will be closed on Saturday (Cottage Point residents or persons attending specified events at Cottage Point will be allowed access under escort).
* Smiths Creek Track, Smiths Creek East Track, the track from the Perimeter Track near Nerang Av to Smith Creek, Centre Trail & Hungary Trail will be closed to all persons from Saturday & until further notice after the burn to ensure they are safe from falling timber.
Anyone ignoring the track closed signs that will be in place will be risking up to a $500 fine & potentially their lives due to the high danger of falling trees.
Anyone found on those tracks or roads while closed on Saturday will also be putting fire fighting personnel at risk as they will have to be removed before the HR can continue.
We will have helicopter surveillance of the whole area during the burn on Saturday.
Red Hill Burn Off
I saw the firies and residents this morning... they said they are back burning Red Hill on Saturday morning and also parts of Oxford Falls - I am fairly sure the Oxford Falls part won't affect mtb but the Red Hill parts will...
CANCELLED - Social Nightride [Terrey Hills]
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
2 Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084 (Terrey Hills Tavern)
About time we start the weekly Social Night Ride again. Probably a good time to spin those legs again for those who attended the Angry Doctor.
This ride starts at 7:15 PM - we'll do Duckholes & Centre Trail.
[Everyone welcome - suitable for newbies, too...social pace...we're riding mostly easy fire-trail]
See you all there 7:15 PM...
Rgds, Spart
Ourimbah Lazy Dayz
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
As discussed... a lazy start and few fun hours at Ourimbah.
Return of the (mid week) Menai...
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Well, Menai sort of rhymes with Jedi!
Going for the usual mid week ride around Menai, won’t be venturing near the free ride areas and the more technical trails, these will be left for the daylight hours.
Pace will be reasonable, but plenty of stops to check we haven’t lost anyone, good night riding skills will be needed along with a good riding light.
I’ve said 8pm but if anyone wants to change, please feel free to PM me.
Look forward to seeing a few of you out there.
Cheers
High Country Trail
This is actually on private property at The Tops Organic Retreat (formerly Hookes Creek). Nice little climb all the same.

After last weekend’s hell like ride at the Doctor, I'm wanting to put some fun back into my riding.
Looking to spend some time on some of the technical trails, the smaller free ride area and some of the sweet single track. Pace will be fairly slow (legs still haven’t recovered from cramping up for six hours) and I’ll be stopping regularly to rerun sections and build up the nerve to tackle some of the trickier stuff.
Saturday Fun?
It has been noticed that a fun ride is needed after last week's exertions. Well, for some - was all fun for me 
Anyhow - if the weather stays dry anyone fancy a trip to Ourimbah for some fun?
