North Turramurra update for 25 May
I rode from Jubes to Stonecrop Rd this morning along the fire trail via Clissold Rd and came back via what some call the pipeline track that branches off to the left at the concrete bridge, then runs past Samuel King oval and eventually via some single track to McCrae Place. While it is still rideable be aware that the earth movers have been in and made a mess in many places. Looks like they have more work to do so could be dodgy for a while.
New rough concrete at the base of the climb up to the pipeline track. Was blocked with yellow barriers, but concrete was set hard enough to ride on. They've bulldozed a fair amount of this trail towards Samuel King oval and some parts are pretty sketchy. Loadsa grip, but very boring.
Elsewhere just watch out for patches of loose sand that weren't there before, lumpy sections where the bulldozer's tracks haven't been smoothed out yet, some badly cut up ground and general boredom with any "character" widened and flattened to within an inch of it's existence.

Bikers ... a charming bunch
This morning dawned overcast and perfect to screw our courage to the sticking point and give Manly Dam track a try. My girl friend and I have been cycling gently for about a year. Nothing too energetic, and more often than not, around Narrabeen Lagoon, but we've kept going. This was a quantum leap, and we hoped to survive.
Welby MTB Track update for 25 May

Support needed at meeting re: Bare Creek Bike Park
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Civic Centre, Pittwater Road Dee Why NSW 2099. Entrance is at the rear, off the access road to the library carpark
Council is meeting to consider the Bare Creek Bike Park.
Staff are currently recommending AGAINST, due to padded estimates of future maintenance. Feedback from riders (many of whom are professionals with appropriate qualifications) that their figures are too high has been ignored.
We need a strong in-person presence to show the depth of support for the proposal.
Roadies hitting the trails
Saw one of the more interesting sites on manly dam today. As I was heading up heart break a guy on a roadie was coming down. I wonder if someone was inspired by road bike party!!!

Bare Creek Bike Plan - Dedicated MTB Facilities for the Northern Beaches. Help Required Now!
Do you want a purpose built bike park on the Northern Beaches - one that is dedicated Mountain Biking? A plan is proposed for such a facility at Belrose Waste Management Centre after it closes soon, but...
Help is needed to get this plan approved. Can you help by emailing the local councillors and expressing your views? Just something simple that explains you are behind the plan is all it would take.
The next council meeting is 27th May, so these emails need to find their target before that date. If you could attend the meeting to show support all the better.
The councillor's email addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
More background can be found in this thread: Bare Creek Bike Park.
Thank you.
