The Inaugural Howling Good Time Ride
I had so much fun at last nights "Howling Good Time Ride" that I felt it deserved a little more than a note in the forum. I know, we didn't actually go on the Full Moon but I feel the atmosphere on the night, created largely by the weather, justifies retaining the name.
Our intitial plans were obviously to make the most of the natural light provided by the glow of a full moon, Christine still maintains that this would have been more than adequate. Our hand was forced though by the weather, with forecasts of storms developing, rain periods continuing Thursday with gale warnings along the coast, had memories of last months aborted attempt by the "fine weather brigade" flashing through my mind. This and the fact that Rob's bargain buy of the month lights had shown up in time for him to shine up made a fairly unaminous decision to move the ride forward a night easy...

Manly Dam Closed... Again!
Hi guys, sorry to report another mail from Nicole this morning:
Due to the heavy rains the Manly Dam mountain bike trail has been closed until further notice...
Future use of Manly Dam for mountain biking does depend heavily on the co-operation of riders during these closures.
Updated Sat, 9th Sep
Have also just had word of great support the coming trail maintenance day:
Can you let people on your website know that if they wish to come to the trail maintenance day on the 17th September they need to register with us first.
We have enough people for the day already but it will be difficult for us from a safety perspective if we get a lot of people just turning up.
There will be more of these maintenance days to come in the near future. they need to register with us first.
Thanks
