Chainsaw Massacre
Easy, almost flat, single track through the trees.
Well... not as many trees as there used to be, hence the name

St Ives sniggle
A can of worms about to be opened perhaps? But a few questions about the sniggles parallel with Mona Vale Rd between the Wild Flower Garden and Forest Way turn-off:
1. Are these trails legal?
2. Who is/are the landholder(s)
3. Who built these tracks?
4. If legal, can I help maintain them? If not, then I don't want to be caught trespassing!
Over to the brains trust...

Heaphy Track overnight trip
In late August I was sitting down after dinner checking my email and up popped a mail from Ground Effect. It went like this:
"Hi Paul
The Heaphy Track is a multi-day backcountry ride with no equal in New Zealand - 78 outrageous kilometres of benched singletrack snaking its way across the top of the South Island. A three year trial commenced in 2011, allowing seasonal (winter) access for mountain bikes. This appears to have gone sweetly but we will need to see that confirmed by the authorities later in the year.

Gee Atherton - Red Bull Foxhunt 2013
Madness!
Red Bull Foxhunt went off with a bang in Rostrevor with 400 hounds (mountain bikers) being chased hard by World Cup Downhill legend, Gee Atherton.
Last year only one rider managed it but this year 30 out foxed the Fox. First place went to Colin Ross who thundered into the finish line arena with a good lead ahead of last years winner Greg Callaghan of Dirt Norco with Joe Barnes of the Dudes of Hazzard in third.

NSW State Forests Total Fire Ban no closures
FYI,
While there is a total fire ban in place today in all NSW State Forests, they remain open for mountain biking, confirmed by phone call this morning with State Forest head office.
This said, if you are heading out for a ride in a State Forest today it might pay to check first just in case they decide to close one or more forests at short notice.
Mind you it's so bloody hot I can't imagine it would be very nice riding around anyway.
