Singleton MTB track update for 02 Sep
Track is awesome. Hero dirt is an understatement. A little rain last night has really made it nice. Still amber due to the Aboriginal artifacts site near the concrete water pipes. Area has been taped off but the cattle have no respect and have trampled the area and pulled down the tape, there are a couple of posts that the tape was hung up on that will ID the area. Remember there are huge fines for entering an area of aboriginal significance so keep out of the area. Thanks

Wallaroo NP Advocacy Thread
Don't know how many people here ride the Wallaroo NP north of raymond terrace, those from Raymond Terrace and Medowie probably do.
Anyway, NPWS are interested in discussing the potential for the park as a mtb destination. The park has 2500Ha on offer and currently has an extensive network of management, 4wd and moto trails.
I've had preliminary contact with NPWS and we are meeting tomorrow to talk further about it. A group of riders from Medowie and Raymond Terrace has also been kept in the loop so far with a view to forming a group similar to the GTA, for the Wallaroo NP.
Jesmond Advocacy Thread
I thought Jesmond needed its own thread to discuss where its headed.
I've been talking with Council on and off for a few years now about legitimising the trails in the reserve. The Council has always been aware of them and unofficially let them be (other than some jumps below rankin park).
More recently though, Council has become interested in the potential for Jesmond to host mtb events. This obviously has put some focus on formalising and recognising the trails in the park officially.

Seeking people to ride with
Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post my query.
I just moved to Newcastle from Sydney and am keen to mingle my way into a group to go riding with - I just missed out on today's Jesmond ride (should check more often!). I am an intermediate XC/single track rider who is looking to get fit again.
There doesn't seem to be alot of social rides posted....
Cheers!
Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 28 Aug
nice'n'dry but for water across the firetrail from headland to creek cossing in 3 spots-was getting a lot of usage this arvo-just keep an eye out for riders doing trails in wrong direction, had 5 incidents of that today-we need those totem poles to prevent someone getting hurt badly!!

Haven't looked at the whole trail network, but there's no way it's that bad anymore.
There's been no rain for 2 days so should be getting better.
Anyone else?
