Top of Towers (almost)
Last incline to the top of the downhill track, which starts just to the right of the tower up there.
Weekend 19-20th those not going to Ourimbah..Local ride anyone?
Ok, anyone feel like a ride local this weekend?
Speak up if you have any thoughts on Saturday morning or Sunday morning and we can arrange from there?
Red Hill last weekend was very wet in places with some deep deep puddles. Overall it was a great ride on some new tracks I havent experienced before.

Manly Dam Bike Track Open
I'm relaying this message from the Rangers, if you have any questions please email them direct at the address below.
The bike trail at Manly Dam has re-opened.
Many thanks to all for keeping off the trail during this very wet period.

P.S. Don't forget the bike trail maintenance day at Manly Dam has been organised for Sunday 17th September 2006.
Manly Dam Closed
Updated - Aug 14

See the comments on this post for details of how you can help out with the maintenance day at Manly Dam on September 17th.

Think plain old fire trail is safe? Think again... this is what happens when a large (erm... size of your fist) rock decides to jump up off said trail and bite on your shin!
Happened on a downhill section of the Wildflower Management fire trail, doing 30-35K/h I guess.
Rock hit about dead centre of the shot (where the nice deep red colour is), rest of the stuff gooed out over the rest of the ride (another 2 hours or so).
It's a nice deep hole as you can see from what happened two weeks later, and eventually (after a month or so) left a sma

On the management track by the junction with the Meuller Track. Don't go down there as it's closed to bikes (and besides, you'd have to carry the bike up the steps at the other end).
