Red Hill update for 17 Feb
its a double RED.
Went up for a look, the fire trail up there from maybrook to lady penrhyn is totally dry ( but this is the boring part ) and any of the other bits ( fun parts ) are way too wet to ride and even too wet to run/walk! and I'd guess the western side's that heads to rim ride would be terrible.
If your thinking about riding... its a total waste of time and I doubt that it will be OK for a ride till at least Sunday.
Oh well; a good thing ( or a bad thing?) is that this much rain and "those other things that run on fossil fuel" have made some parts look more technical. 
Do you have more information?

Help required for Council run Skills Workshop North Shore Sydney
Not sure this is the right section but here goes...(mods please move if need be)
As some of you may be aware a few of us have been campaigning to get a pump track/ skills track built up on the lower North Shore of Sydney.
we have had succesful interaction and very positive meetings with the council committee and they have recently expressed an interest in holding a "off road/ Mountain Biking skills workshop" at the new facility when it is built. They already do this for Road Cyclists, so this is their first venture into off road cycling (which is great news)
Royal National Park update for 17 Feb
Out and Back 22km along the Highway Firetrail, Then re rode the single track at the start (over two train lines and the road). There are still some large puddles and a bit of mud in the enclosed single track. The first 3 km's of single track were drying out well, only a few wet spots.

Appin casual ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.
Am planning to check out Appin tomorrow if anyone is keen to join would be great, I have never ridden there before but keen to explore so ride will not be at blistering pace also will have the opportunity to stop and play on sections or take photo's if wanted. The time is also a little flexible.
Todays Paper - Hart backs biking ban
http://manly-daily.whereilive.com.au/news/story/...
WARRINGAH Council general manager Rik Hart has stood by the decision to ban bike riding in sections of Manly Dam, despite a severe public backlash.
Angry mountain bike riders have bombarded Warringah councillors and Manly State MP Mike Baird with emails and phone calls in protest since the ban went in place last week.
A protest ride has also been organised for March 6 with more than already 150 people signed up.
