Downhill

Morgan Road Firetrail

Long firetrail with some brutal hills to the east of junction with 'Slippery Dip'

Slippery Dip Trail

Nursery Rhymes

The bottom first half of this trail shares the path with 'Powerlines' before turning left. Meets 'Slippery Dip' almost exactly 500m from the gate.

Power Lines

Turn right at the junction in 'Nursery Ryhmes' and come out on the main 'Morgan Road Firetrail'. Not convinced this path is drawn correctly here, but it's close enough Eye-wink

Deep Creek

This trail is illegal!

Runs East to West from Wakehurst Parkway along a sealed track and dirt before meeting the creek. From this direction head left along some nice single track that becomes more rocky. Check out the bashing the rocks get as you walk along the creek, under overhangs to the waterfalls. From here, very steep climb North to the Road to Nowhere, or South back to Morgan Road Firetrail.

Creekside

Nice peice of sniggle running down to and along side the dry creek bed.

Colour Coded Trails

Manly Dam in Google Earth

Some of you may have noticed a whole heap of 'Track' content types popping up recently. This is as we will finally have colour coded maps shortly. All the KMZ files have been previously created by hand which meant the author (whoever that was Eye-wink) decided to draw the trails in completely random colours.

Soon the KMZ (well, KML file, actually) will be generated from the data in these 'Track' nodes on the site, meaning they can be colour coded according to type (firetrail, single track, etc.). An example of what this looks like is Manly Dam seen here. OK, sneak peak of full auto generated file here.

As a by product of all this we'll get some stats on Km of trails by type, location, etc.

And just a reminder of course, anyone in the Content Authors group can create a write up of an area worth riding in, and now create 'Track' content types too so individual trails can be mapped and discussed. There's more on that in the Content Author's Reference.

Vibration from braking?

On my last two rides, my rear brakes have been howling and sending severe vibration up through the frame of my bike. Does anyone know of what could be causing this and/or how to deal with it?

I have the rotor centred fairly well and tightened the cone nuts with no success.

Appreciate any feedback....

FYI: Trek Fuel ex7 with Avid Elixir CR brakes (7 inch rotors)
