Great Blue Mountains Trail: Upper Mountains Component
An interesting read for those that don't know about it: the feasibility study for the Great Blue Mountains Trail: Upper Mountains Component, dated Feb 2010. This is a shared use walking/cycling trail between Leura and Mt York.
Unfortunately it's not a mountain bike single-track or nature walk, but more like a tourist walk/commuter track. Still, would be a great thing to have anyway.

Mount York update for 08 May
Berghofers: Great condition.
Lawsons: Very muddy in sections of the single track. One massive tree down across the single track that is awkward to carry bike over by yourself.
Coxs: Very muddy down the bottom through the private land. Suggest using stepping logs and carrying bike through these sections.
Lockyers: Great condition except for 4 or 5 large trees fallen across the last downhill section after the stairs. These are all fairly close together and are between the stairs and the large left-leaning tree that will have my imprint on it one day.

Knapsack Reserve update for 29 Apr
Still very wet and overgrown behind the football fields. Most of the XC track has held up well lately and there are just a few small patches of mud puddles scattered around in the usual spots.
Lots of mushrooms growing around the area too.

is 915 to wide for a handle bar?
While out browsing the net Ive come across what is called the Yard stick. The Handle bar is 915mm wide started out as an office joke but became a reality. You can try super wide or cut it down to make an ultrastrong 750 bar as this has increased wall thickness.
