Hornsby Quarry Rd Trails
As there is no trail status update (or trail available to update) I thought I'd add one!
Trails at Hornsby are in great condition.
My first time up there and the decent from the car park to the bottom is pretty sweet!
Big thanks to those who build and maintain this track and I'm looking forward to seeing the planned extensions 
Stromlo / Capital Punishment Advice Needed
The only time I have ridden at Stromlo was during last year's Capital Punishment, and I was a bit slow on the final descent. I'll be at Stromlo this weekend but only for about 2 hours... Can anyone give me advice on the best loop to ride to prepare for Capital Punishment 2013? I'm doing the 50km, and as far as I know they haven't announced the route yet. But it's generally my descending skills I want to work on, so any advice on how I can best spend my time there would be welcome.
Manly Dam update for 14 Feb
There are a few small puddles about and some damp patches, but I'm calling it Green/Open anyway.
Most of the track is clean and dry. The few places of wetness are mostly avoidable. The earthworks after the Creek up to Allambie are soft and annoying but rideable and in many places a firmer drier line is becoming evident.
At the bottom of the hill just before Curl Curl Creek is a banner saying "slow runners" which must be left over from last weekend's fun run. From that point on I kept wondering "is a slow runner a fast walker?" and "is slow runner an oxymoron?"
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.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Mudgee social ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Common Road, Glen Ayre
I'm in Mudgee again this weekend and will be taking my bike.
Bit of a long shot but, if anyone on here is up that way this weekend, I'd be happy for some company.

Garmin Cadence sensor magnets
Some where I have lost the crank magnet for my cadence sensor. Before I order a replacement from Garmin which will cost me around $20. Is there a home job or 3rd party magnet I could try that you know of?
The Grove Bike Park CLOSED down.
Took my boys to the Grove Bike Park at Seaforth the other day to see a sign put up by Manly Council saying it was closed due to vandalism. I can't find out any other information about it on the web. I'm really not sure what that means - you can still just walk in and use it. Has the council just decided to stop funding it? Given it only opened about 18 months ago, it seems like a strange decision.... especially given the distinct lack of any evidence of vandalism.
Can anyone throw some light on that decision? Or suggest who we can push for a better statement than simply 'Its Closed'.
Clean Up Australia Day - St Ives Single Track
Hi,
I'm sure many of you ride the St Ives Single track and will have noticed the incredible amount of rubbish scattered through the bush there - especially at the Wildflower Gardens end.
I'm organising a Clean Up Australia Day site for this area and would be grateful for as much help as we can get. It's a great cause, will benefit us all and the community looking after our beautiful bush land.
Date: Sunday 3rd March from 8am.

Hope to see you along if you can assist (even for an hour).
