Manly Dam nobs
Ok, so I am doing a hot-lap of Manly Dam yesterday (I'm not quick but just looking to get under 40mins) and I come across 2 guys riding slowly talking who kindly invited me to pass them. However when I did they decided to race me down the back end of the Dam, both overtaking me before slowing down again when they got in front...nobs. One wearing boots riding with his heals on the pedals...sad I know that even in that get up he got in front of me.

Linking Terrey Hills to Oxford Falls
Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there is a way to link Terrey Hills and Oxford Falls without too much road work? I've heard there is a way via Morgan Road but can't find any details anywhere on this. I've ridden Cascades to Manly Dam and back through Davidson (following the pipeline) and that was a good morning out, trying to find a similar longish ride....
TIA

Lane Cove National Park update for 11 Sep
Rode through from Gloucester Ave to the top of Devlin's Ck track. Still damp in a couple of spots but not too bad for 2011.
Although the sign at the start of the Devlin's Ck track says its closed for repair work on the damaged causeway, nothing has happened yet (other than signage) and it's still getting plenty of traffic. Lots of bikes and walkers out all along the valley, including in the "closed" section.
NPWS ute was parked at the entrance to the Gloucester Ave fire trail on my way in but no sign of the driver. It arrived at Brown's waterhole while I stopped for some food at the picnic table on the way back. Driver got out there and disappeared up Terry's Ck track. Did not seem particularly friendly when I said hello.

Still a couple of damp bits, but starting to get a traffic line again which make it a bit more fun.

Red Hill update for 11 Sep
not too bad, not green but rideable, you will get dirty.
had not been here for ages, someone's gone and dug some big trenches of varying lengths about 6 inches wide, a foot deep on sections of my favorite bits

Trail between Powder Works and Terrey Hills?
Hi guys,
Is there a trail between the top of Powder Works Rd (where it meets Mona Vale Rd) and Terrey Hills? My wife wants to ride from home (Collaroy) to work (Terrey Hills), but I don't feel comfortable having her ride along Mona Vale Rd. Especially because for a part of it there isn't any shoulder at all! I know I wouldn't want to ride it, especially early mornings.
Thanks!

I can now ride with my 11 year old!..kinda
Just thought I would share with you all may moring with my 11 year old son at Yellomundee...it was fun.

Wingello State Forest update for 10 Sep
Just magical. The first bit of single is still closed so I don't know what's going on there.

Mount Annan Botanic Garden update for 10 Sep
Despite what was posted on Facebook this morning the track is in perfect condition. No wet spots and not dusty.
Some words of warning: I did meet Mr Magpie for the first time and he was in a particularly feisty mood, and mullered me about 6 times on my 3rd lap! Rather unnerving.
