Manly Dam update for 17 Sep
Did a couple of circuits of the section from19th Hole to Southen Cross Drive late this afternoon, and it was dry and had pretty good traction. This part is normally a good indicator for the rest of the trail, so I'd say it's a green with bells on 
Do you have more information?

Skewers - Hex versus RWS
Having to replace a skewer, seems there are some alternatives to std QR for a more solid ride.
Anyone tried a Hex/Allen skewer or a DTSwiss RWS ... aside from the Hex convenience issue ... ? Is there any noticeable improvement in stiffness (for xc / all mountain riding) ??
Red Hill update for 17 Sep
Single track is dry as and dusty
Parts of the firetrail in are ruined. Massive ruts and boggy, ruined by our motorised friends.
The area around Pink Rock is also wet and boggy.
That aside it's in perfect shape.

Fox RP23 Required (Where to buy one)
OK, getting ready for Red Hill and my rear shock has lost all its air 
This is the second time this has happened (fixed under warranty once before) so I'm ditching the monarch and going to get an RP23
Can anyone recommend where I can get one new at a decent price that will have a valid warranty in OZ.
Also, if anyone has one lying around I'd be interested. Its 200mm eye-to-eye and 50mm stroke.
Friday fun one?
was just looking on Freecaster for Cyclocross stuff and found this quite amusing!

Cowan Trail (Terry Hills) Confirmed As Out of Bounds
I decided today to get confirmation from NPWS if it was legal to ride the Cowan Fire trail which forks off West about 850m from the Long/Perimeter junction. Whilst this site indicates it is okay to ride the trail, I have noticed there are no signs confirming you can ride at the trail head. This is the response I received back which confirms the trail is out of bounds for MTBkrs.
