First Aid - just like a spare tube
Riding over the years we have seen and experienced some cuts-n-bruises. You get that - but just like a puncture or broken chain you need to carry spares. I carry a small pack of wound pads, gloves, antiseptic wipes a bandage and mobile phone in case of something nasty happening. This post is to encourage the same.
Don't forget to comment on Warringah Council Draft Recreation Strategy
If you value riding Manly Dam and would like to see more council initiatives for MTB then please don't forget to comment on Warringah Council Draft Recreation Strategy 2009. The document can be downloaded here:
http://www.warringah.nsw.gov.au/comment/document...
According to Warringah Council Public Comment:
Comments on the Draft Recreation Strategy must be in writing and must be received by 5pm Friday October 23, marked 'Submission – Draft Recreation Strategy' and addressed to the General Manager, Warringah Council, 725 Pittwater Road, Dee Why 2099 or emailed to [email protected]. For more information call Council's Strategy and Policy team on 9942 2716.
Personally, while I commend the council for operating Manly Dam it is clear that a massive user base exists and Manly Dam is under pressure with these rider numbers and the current, rather lacking management policies there. I'm of the opinion the council should properly recognised the importance of Manly Dam to the riding community, give more resources to MTB management at Manly Dam and make finding a second (or maybe more) riding venue in it's jurisdiction a priority.
If you'd like to see more riding and better planning for MTB then simply write into the council (at the address above) and state your case. You don't have to be a Warringah resident to do this - the council are well aware that their facilities are a draw card for riders from many other areas (and indeed they should be proud of this and the economic benefits it brings to their community).
Lane Cove National Park update for 14 Oct
Everything has dried out pretty well, back to the usual few puddles and soggy bits that are easily avoided.
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.

Pain in the Arch
Yes... that's A-R-C-H 
For the last couple of days I've had a pain in the arch of my right foot. I'm not sure, but think my right foot is also swollen - that shoe certainly felt tighter when I put it on yesterday.
What's the go? Has anyone heard of this kind of pain being caused by riding? I haven't been doing much else

I have not been to this trail, but i am very interested in exploring it and read some good comments about it. I could not find maps in the database so I am proposing this ride and hopefully someone who knows his way around there comes along as well, if not I will go and take a look.
I don't know where is the meeting point or how long it could take but i hope we can make 2 hours ride.
Help!?!? 
Might be a fun way to explore Canberra?
Urban Polaris or Metro
Has anyone taken part in this event? https://www.urbanpolaris09.org.au/
Looks like it might be fun, relaxing and ends in less then 24hrs.
Not sure if a Road Bike would be suitable, as the site is lacking detailed information? Plenty of MTbikes in the pictures, but plenty of Tarmac in the foreground! confused...I'll email the event co-ordinators!
