Awaba State Forest update for 02 Jan
Heavy rain this morning and continuing showers this afternoon have had a major impact on the trails. Trails have gone from firm, fast and tacky to be generally soft with some very sloppy sections and a lot of surface water.
Awaba does drain well, so with a day or so of dry conditions the trails should be back in awesome condition. Best to stay off for now.
The 4WD's have also played in the first hill of the access road. Low 2Wd's may struggle.
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.

Awaba State Forest update for 02 Jan
Track is in great condition. Fast and tacky, no dust, no mud as of January 1. If you have a 2wd, make sure you park at the top of the driveway and join the track from there as the driveway is very iffy atm.

Perimeter, Long and maybe Cowan if its open??
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Getting the legs going for Mont24 and Dirtworks. Prefer to be a reasonable pace (15-20)km/hr but the main thing is to get out and breathe some fresh air and work some xmas carbs (beer) off so anyone welcome
Appin fun
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.
I'm going to Appin tomorrow with the SUAR guys. Sadly cannot offer anyone a ride as already committed the space to them.
But... come along if you're in the area 
Will probably be a medium pace with plenty of stops to play/practice the technical sections.
The plan is to be back home by noon so should be around 3 hours riding.
Terry Hills Trails
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
Going for a ride on Sunday arvo, probably perimeter/ cowan as i haven't been down there yet. It will be a relaxed pace and i may ride up from Narrabeen if I'm feeling fit 
Andersons / Oaks - Dirtworks training.
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Meet at Glenbrook Train Station for the 8:23am train up to Wentworth Falls, or meet at Wentworth Falls for the train arrival at 9:11am.
This train leaves central at 7:18am for those not driving.
Dirtworks training. Pace will be as close to 20km/hr as possible, though xmas beers may hamper this slightly.
Weather should be fine, fingers crossed!
Ill be the one with the black Spark.

Crankbrothers Joplin
I have issues using a QR seat clamp as I find I constantly am hitting my inside right knee on the release. Therefor I'm looking at getting a crankbrothers joplin remote seat post. I am just after any feedback from people who have used these before mainly regarding 2 things;
1. Do they rattle a lot as I don't like rattle noises coming from my bike
2. Does anyone use these with a saddle bag or would it be too heavy
Cheers

GNR - The Fun Stuff
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
I haven't been to GNR for, like, forever!
Time to get back there and do the fun stuff: Up Devines Hill, over to Clare's Bridge (further if people are game) and back, down Shepherds Gully and trundle round to the start.
NYD at North Turra
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Murrua track head - Murrua Rd North Turra - second left at the roundabout at the end of the golf course?
As discussed, let us take a trundle around North Turramurra. I've never ridden here so am looking for Lach to lead the way, but sounds like some out and back firetrail work so easy riding.
Guess this is close enough to Bobbin Head that those wanting more when we're done can have a trundle there too.
