Parts of Oxford Falls Officially Closed
A mate of mine rode little Moab yesterday morning and said there is a massive 'no bikes' sign at the start of the XC loop where it branches off next to the Aero club gate.
Apparently the sign says there are Aboriginal carvings and fines of up to $5000 for causing trail damage (whatever that is defined as).
Apparently the same sign is at the entrance to a certain track that starts up on Mona Vale rd.
I just read with interest the forum on National parks interest in this site. Guess it makes it pretty easy for them to monitor what trails are where.
Monday Midday Dam Lap(s)
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
A couple of leisurely laps, or maybe one slow warm-up first (including all the extras) then one fast, weather permitting.
Ta,
Matt.
An Australian Poem for Easter
Some of you (of more recent English extraction) may not be aware of a famous old Australia Poem. Hence I will share it with you. It may explain why some old aussie people are not that push bike friendly. They may remember the horse days too well. This is a poem I learned to recite as a child of about 5 for my Grandfather (who was a horse lover). I think it's about early DownHill... LOL.

Suggestions have been made to the committee regarding positive action and hopefully we can channel the same energy seen here.
Riders and walkers can share the trails but all parties need to be educated and aware of each other. I have found even recently, that walkers seem rather put out to keep left to let a single file of MTB'ers by.
But all my experience with the horse riders have been a positive, considerate and polite affair. We always stop and wait for the horses to pass. But we are the two groups with the most to loose?
National Parks interest in this site
Hi all,
I took a call from a national parks ranger recently, noting to us that some of the trails marked on this site were 'illegal' trails.
He has requested a meeting with Robin and I. I also spoke at length today to Adam from Club Mud, who has also spoken to National Parks.
The issue at the moment seems to be that there is a lot of direction coming down to close trails, with zero community input (in my humble opinion).
All those that would like to say their piece say 'Aye'... Ok, my eardrums just broke.
