Hornsby Mall has a community feedback on the recent submissions regarding the Hornsby Park area. Won't say much as I'll let the photos of the signs speak for themselves.
Edit - Postponed One Week! Rake and Ride - Be a Trail Fairy at OMV
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
End of Quarry Road, Hornsby - Parking is well signposted, directing cars to park at the END of the road. If this is full, park in the Dural Street carpark.
It seems like an eternity since local riders met up to groom the trails at Old Man Valley. Well, the opportunity it on again on 13/5.
There's a lot of vegetation growth and debris on the OMV trails atm. The budget is running thin and so we need riders to get in a help with the basic maintenance. This will allow Synergy to work on bits they need to finish.

Old Mans Valley to Stay Open
In case you missed the good news, OMV to Stay Open.
There had been talk of shutting down an all too rare pocket of legal single track in our area, but long term closure looks to have been averted.
Rehabilitation work in the area around the track is due to start in July, so please keep an eye out for notices around this and respect any re-routing of the trail.
Full details in the link above. Thanks to Tristania for the heads up.
OMV to Stay Open
Posted on Hornsby Shire Council. Sweet.
Hornsby Shire Council has some great news for the thousands of mountain bikers who love the trail in Old Mans Valley: it is going to stay open throughout the rehabilitation of Hornsby Quarry.
“For a while it looked like we would have to shut it down, but now it will only need to close for a few months while it is altered,” Hornsby Shire Mayor Steve Russell said.
“Council knows what that trail means to a lot of people, so we put considerable effort into finding a solution that would allow it to stay open.

OMV Closure & Northconnex - an Update
