Kanangra Walls
Ah... there's an alright view at the end of this ride (well, depending on how you do it).
Earlier in the day the ranger said he'd rather you didn't ride to this lookout, but getting late as it was only passed a couple of walkers on it. Be sure not to cycle off the cliff!
It was down to 8 degrees celcius at this time (just gone 5pm, mid April) so probably not a good thing to finish up much later!
Boyd River Fire Trail
Boyd River Fire Trail is another track of to the West of Kanagra Walls Road. The sign says, it's for management only but a ranger told us it was fine to ride. Probably preferably to Kowmung River as not as much traffic, but both are easy descent South and join the Morong Creek trail later.
Kowmung River Fire Trail
There are many trails of the 'main' road down to Kanagra Walls. This one, Kowmung River, is one of the larger. Off to the left (West) as you drive in.
Morong Creek Crossing
Morong Creek crossing on the fire trail of the same name. Now, this is a bit trickier than the last. Luckily there's a path (or at least there was when we were there) through the bushes about 5m to the left. There's also rocks that can be climbed over about 200m downstream (that's SW).
The water was only about 40cm deep anyhow (we saw a couple of 4WD vehicals go through there).

Hello!
I was reading your site the other day and saw you did a ride from Terrey Hills shops down to Duffys Forest and back, I didn't know if you knew you don't have to go back the same way but can go down Killawarra Road where there is a trail called The Letterbox...it takes you through to Cooyong Road, you can then go up there to get back to the shops or on another link which takes you out near Kinma School...
If anyone needs better directions I can give them but I suspect you already know the way - it just makes a nice loop.

Gaffer Tyre
People might laugh at you for putting gaffer tape on a split or damaged tyre, but check this out - it actually lasts a lot longer than you'd think.
This tape was applied top of St Helena trail in The Oaks and here you see the result when we got back in to Glenbrook (about 13Km later). There was also a temporary fix inside the tyre which I noticed was giving way when I took it off to replace it, so it's quiet possible the gaffer tape saved the day.
P.S. What do you mean, "Where did you get the tape?", you mean you don't carry some in your backpack always
