Manly Dam Desecration - Looking back up the fire trail from Wakehurst Parkway.
This used to be a lot more enclosed before access works in December 2006.

Sunday 10 early morning ride.
Hi all,
Anyone interested in an early morning ride on Sunday 10 Dec? i have to be at work by 1.00pm and would like to squeeze in an early morning ride if possible. I would'nt mind having a look at oxford falls or doing the dam circuit again. Any takers?
Luke.
Wed 6 Dec - Night Ride
"Bring out the beast!"... oh dear - I do hope this hasn't been talked up too much. Really - it's not that much of a beast 
Although the Dam is closed during the week at the mo, I spoke to the ranger and it appears after 5pm we're good to go. Watch out for machinery on the trail - although I hear it's a huge digger and not easily missed!
Where: Corner King/Arana Streets, Manly Vale
When: 7:45pm start (come a few mins before if you need the time)
What: Hit the usual Dam circuit - including the new 'freeway'
This will probably be a bit of a speedy ride, and it will be dark of course. Lights suitable for technical terrain are required.
Anyone up for a Casades ride tomorrow at 7.30 (Sunday, 3rd)
Sounds like Manly Dam is fun no more
Will do Cascades if anyone interested, from Douglas Street to Wyatt, then Bare Creek then Quarry Tract then back to Douglas Street, well if it stops raining now, otherwise it will be a puddle of mud tomorrow
Please post here if anyone is keen

Desecration, vandalism – Manly Dam trail is GONE!!!
I bring very bad news...
Just rode Manly Dam this morning and the trail had GONE - bulldozed out of existence!!!
Every water sculpted ledge and boulder has been flattened, every pothole and crevice filled. Instead we have a wide, soft sand freeway that’s good for nothing.
The premier trail of the Northern Beaches is no more…
What were they thinking???

Brake Technique
Hi there
Just a quick question about braking technique. I find that I use the rear brake on my bike a lot probably because I'm scared I'll do an endo if I use the front too much.
I read that you stop better if you use your front brake which makes sense as there's more traction as weight is transferred forward.
So question is what technique do you all use? Front, Back or a combination of both?

Rob's Homemade LEDs - Close Up
Think things are going to work best with the outer two beams (8° diffusers) angled down for peripheral and close up vision with the middle two (6° & 16°) lighting the trail ahead.
