Save Mona DH shuttle access. Submissions close 28 Aug
Save Mona DH Access! Submissions close Aug 28th
Hi all
We need urgent help making a submission for the Mona Vale Road widening. Emails need to be sent no later than Aug 28th COB.
There is a real risk of losing shuttle access.
Please ask RMS to work with riders to allow a drop of bay as agreed in 2013. This is to manage road safety so Council can formalise the track.
MET Parabellum Helmet
Has anyone had first hand experience or heard any tales good or bad about the MET PARABELLUM helmet?
OMV - any way to link to Quarry rd Dural via Pogson's trig?
I had my first taste of OMV yesterday morning and loved it. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if it is possible to ride / hike a bike between Pogson's trig and down to the fishponds and then back up to OMV?
Reason I ask is that I'm coming from the hills and as I can't do Quarry rd after 9AM, then if there was a way I could do Pogson then I wouldn't have to drive all the way to OMV.
Kowalski Classic - 2015
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Mill Post Road
Now in its fourth year, the Kowalski Classic is a one-day showcase of the famous trails in East Kowen Forest and Sparrow Hill. The event celebrates the achievements of local trail builders Paul Cole, Alan Anderson and the mysterious Kowalski Brothers, who together have hand built over 100km of flowing trail in East Kowen (the Kow) & Sparrow Hill (the Bird).
Love single track? Then you will love the Kowalski Classic.

WHAT'S NEW IN 2015?
Dirt Night - Mountain bike meet and greet and swap meet with great prizes - community meet up
We had over 60 people turn up for the third Dirt Night, our monthly MTB meet and greet night held in conjunction with Forestville Ferrets Rugby. We had speakers from Avanti Hellfire and Trail care with both St. Ives Cyclery and Avanti+ Narrabeen chipping in with prizes and free basic bike services. Specialized also kicked in prizes and in the end we handed out two major and 2 minor prizes.
The clubhouse was full of bike and buzzing with riders talking all things MTB. We had some great video up from Specialized on the projector and snag sandwiches and snacks catered by the rugby club.
Manly Dam update for 23 Aug
Rain overnight. Trail is quite wet. Riding in these conditions will damage the trails.
If you feel the need to stretch your legs, go ride Duck Holes and Center tracks at Terrey Hills: http://nobmob.com/rides/terreyhills

Glass on trail
Top section of fairly popular (yet unofficial) trail on Northern Beaches has deliberate scatterings of glass in numerous places. Walkers have placed branches across track in the past.

Tubeless (is awesome)
Having been a massive tubeless sceptic I finnally converted the rear after after a few recent pinch flats (drops onto rocky landings). I've got to say, how awesome. Over the general XC stuff there was no big difference but the bump compliance over rock gardens felt ace, with noticeable improved grip and control. Give it a go if you haven't already!
Trek fuel stolen
Some low life today has stolen my 2014 trek fuel 9.7 in 17.5 size.
What's unique about this bike is the wheels I just built for it, wtb kom i25s with black tune King Kong hubs. Has a conti x king on the front and a race King on the back, specialized phenom saddle and black esi grips. Blue Garmin 510 as well and shimano xt xc pedals.
I'm devastated
If you see or here anything can you please let me know.
