An interesting article. Is this just in reference to the general NPWS mountain biking policy that has been going on for the last year, or has something new popped up? I thought you could ride the trails at Yellomundee whenever you wanted?

My favourite quote- "Mountain biking, I think, is the new millennium’s bushwalkers. It’s for today’s cash-rich, time-poor people." Shhhh, don't tell the missus. She thinks I'm a lowly government employee.

Send in Submissions to Lake Parramatta Draft Plan of Management

I saw a great idea on Rotorburn - if you send an e-mail, mail in a copy as well.
It will make sure that Parramatta Council gets your submission, especially if you have made some serious effort to discuss the issues.

If you are one of the guys doing a petition, make sure that you keep a photocopy of it (original must go to Council), particularly if you mail it in.
If you've got access to a fax, you can also try faxing an extra copy to them but mark that as "COPY".

G'day all. Been in touch with Ray at WSMTB and he suggested this site. Must say, Loving it already. Don't do a lot of this forum malarky, in fact..neverrrr haha but gotta start somewhere huh?! Smiling
Just sayin hi, and looking to get some group/partner rides in at some time. Am flexible with my time as I'm self employed. If my mahoosive cold/man flu shifts by Sundee I'll head to Yeller and give it a crack as a day rider, but I can already see me parting with my hard earned for the full membership! Smiling

Farewell Manly Vale, hello Inner West - where to ride and commute?

Hey Guys
Well the sad day came yesterday when I moved from my lovely unit (only a stones throw away from The Dam) to the flat concrete jungle of the Inner West (Leichhardt). I can't be the only one on these forums so looking for any ideas on where I can get off-road and also a good longish (20km) commute loops to the city with some hills thrown in (my commute to Stanmore took all of 5 mins this morning).

Alternatively, if anyone has a trainer they want to get rid of let me know.

Thanks in advance

Lake Parramatta

Can anybody advise what street contains the most northerly spot you can drop into the Lake Parramatta Reserve (or any linked bushland)? I did a wet weather ride along the M2 detour cycle way recently and now realise that the cycle way along North Rocks Rd runs alongside the Reserve. I'm hoping that it mightn't be too far to link the top end of Devlin's Ck track in LCNP with Lake Parramatta for a mainly dirt ride one day - that's if it ever gets dry enough for me to want to ride off road again....

Yellomundee?

Looking around for places to ride this weekend and the weather page shows very little rainfall out that way, yet no one seems to be organizing a ride out here. I've never ridden there before and know very little about it, so i was just wondering if there is any local knowledge that is putting people off? If it is open would anyone be keen to come out and show me around, or if your new to it yourself just come along and we can wing it.
