It's on again ..Manly Dam Vollie day this Saturday 8am - 12midday...more focus on the single trail section between the Seaforth bowlo and Curl Curl Ck fire trail. Meeting point will be the gate where the Curl Curl Ck fire trail meets the parkway. hope to see you there .. bring a friend!
Track closure
Whilst running part of the Manly Dam track between Water Reserve Rd, North Balgowlah and Manly Vale PS, tonight.
There is now fencing completely blocking both foot and bike traffic.
This has effectively closed the Manly Dam MTB loop?
Can someone shed light on this closure?
Withdrawn: Tyres - 26"
Note that this is "Withdrawn" so is here for archive purposes only.
Just found under the house a pair of 26" Kenda Small Block 8's and a pair of 26" Schwable Racing Ralph's. Both have been used on only a few rides so probably 90% tread remaining.
I'd rather give them away than bin them. Downside is I live out west near Parramatta and you'll have to come and get them!

Manly Dam Survey markings
Noticed lots of (what I think are) survey markings on the Bantry Bay side of the trail. Blue paint of the type used for marking roads in construction etc. All the way from the Seaforth oval sniggle right through to Possum.
Anything happening to these trails? wonder if it could be because of the tunnel. Really hope we don't lose those bits of track....
Manly Dam update for 02 May

Bike selection advice.
Hi there Im a 172cm 75Kg 53 yr old keen to get back on the bike but a bit bewildered by the changes that have come to the gear in the 7 or so years Ive been out. I ride mostly local northern beaches esp. Narrabeen Manly dam but a few trips when time allows to the Oakes/Andersons or Orimbah. Im up for a good second hand medium, dual Suspension (carbon if I can afford it). So.... opinions 1x10 1x11 1x12??? 29vs 27.5 etc etc.
Cheers Pete.

Wingello State Forest update for 22 Apr
We rode around Wingello yesterday (Sat 21/4). The first half of the red loop is in fantastic condition. It’s a bit dusty as there hasn’t been much rain recently.
However, the second half of the red loop is closed after recent hazard reduction burning. The detour is well signposted, but it takes you pretty much back to the carpark and you miss out most of the second half. We spoke to someone who said that the closed section had over a dozen trees down across the track - and probably the chance of more tree falls if it’s windy.
Yellow loop is also closed, but blue loop and some of the other new loops are still open.
