Lane Cove National Park update for 30 Jun
As you would expect, it's very wet and creek crossings are deep. I walked down today, and took this video of the Lane Cove River Crossing at the bottom of Pennant Hills firetrail.
Do you have more information?

Wet weather training option
I've never enjoyed using indoor trainers, but I recently discovered that my local 24 hour gym has spin bikes and virtual "classes on demand". You select a ride, and the road/ trail appears on a huge screen in front of you while a narrator tells you how hard to set the resistance and how hard to push yourself, depending on the program. There are advanced hill climbs, high performance sessions, moderate sessions, interval rides - you choose what you're up for and away you go. Most rides are in the US but there are a couple in Italy, and quite a few are off road (eg White Rim trail in Utah).
Making movies - why are mine crap :(
Was given a Go Pro for my birthday and have recorded a bit of riding and have gone through the journey of mounting positions, the crap formatting stop/start ing issue, and even after al that they look rubbish.
Are there any tips on how to make them a bit interesting besides throwing myself of the edge or trying to do death defying stunts (to add I'm 41 yrs old). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
