Should we MTB of NSW be concerned with the degrading of our State Forests
I have been MTB riding in the Mid Coast region over 20 years which is by international standards highly valued for its rich biodiversity. Sadly with Corporate demands and short falls in quota promises, our Forest and its Fawna have paid the cost dearly. This broad clearing dries the future forest out it becomes more flamable these trees also do not precipitate moisture like their predecessors. The justification has always been jobs and revenue but in an ABC news article 2 years ago it showed that the industry runs at a loss and forestry axed one third of its workers, in response.

Pearl Beach to Umina Headland track
A critical section of what should be a marvellous bike path entry point from Umina to the fire trails south from Pearl Beach.
We are making comments to Council as part of their Bike Plan review.
Reasons for inaction include dangerous rocks but there was a road there from 1927 to 1954. The sewer line runs along the track alignment. No difference in engineering challenge than the Manly to Fairy Bower promenade.
There would need to be rock protection but the Austrians have the technology for avalanche and rock protection for roads.
Rock bolting is also an option.
Mogo State Forest update for 31 Jan
The Loopy track is getting a bit overgrown but appart from that the track is still good. Loose underneath. Heavy rain 2 weeks ago made it very muddy but recent hot spell has resolved that. Track being eaten by local mototcross riders 
Glad it's there and wish Eurobodallashire council would recognise it's value.

Moving to Grafton
Hi guys,
I am looking to start mountain biking and I m also moving to Grafton for work in a weeks time. What is the scene like in Grafton and the surrounding area. Are there any groups?
Where are all the Downhill tracks?
Hey everybody!
Just moved up the mountains.
From Lithgow so use to riding state mine & pony club. Looking for tracks from Katoomba - Penrith looking for tracks of similar grade.
Don't mind if it's push up or fire trail entry.
Vids & directions would be great.
Thanks Sam

Good to go, a few muddy spots from rain on Thursday, but otherwise all good.
