Awaba State Forest update for 20 Jun
The track is in (surprisingly) great condition. All the recent showers haven't really hit here too hard. There are a dozen or so small puddles around the track, but great overall. The forecast is for more rain... but it was great this arvo.
Do you have more information?

Wanted: Shitty old straight handlebar
Hi Guys
I'm after a old set of bars, preferably straight bars, to put on my wind trainer bike. The only requirement is that they have the older style 1" diameter clamping area, otherwise I don't really care (ape-hangers aside). Does anyone have something hanging around the shed they want to offload, happy to swap for a nice bottle of red. I'm in Manly
thanks in advance

Base Training
Hi guys,
Long time reader.. you know how it goes.
I've got a question on base training. Been doing some kms on the road bike lately and looking to build my endurance up for some 100km mtb races. Also I might join a road racing club (but we'll leave that for another forum).
Do you follow a training program that incorporates base (aerobic) training in the lead up to a race or race season?
How long is your base training period?
How do you measure it (hours/km)?
How do you measure your exertion (hrm, power meter etc)?
Any other tips or tricks you do during?

Wildflower Garden update for 20 Jun
Some wet bits in the usual places, but overall not too bad.

Duck Hole/Terrey Hills Trail update for 20 Jun
Plenty of standing water along the ridge top area and each water bar on the way down to McCarrs Ck has it's own little moat. The steep bit near the RFS depot is a pretty cut up by water.

Centre Track update for 20 Jun
The drop down to the Akuna Bay Rd at the northern end is a mess, but the rest is pretty good. A bit of water here and there but no major dramas.

Dam status
Anyone got an update on the Dam status, Warringah website says it's open, I would imagine it's wet??

North Turramurra update for 19 Jun
The Jubes MTB is closed for "rejubenation" - but the pump track is closed off entirely and the singletrack appeared open, though I rode down it and went by a worker who told me it was closed. Apparently it's fenced off from the GJF entry, but it's not apparent from the firetrail.
Either way, it appears to be close to being completed, and what seemed a pretty mediocre track (that had been washed away partially) now looks amazing and I can't wait to go back and ride it. The track is, in my opinion, better than even OMV for quality, if not quantity though obviously this is just my opinion... others' may be different!
Will post photos next time I'm there!
