Menai single track this Sunday
Hi Fellas,
Anyone out there who could give any advise or opinions re: the new single track at Menai/Lucas Heights? i.e difficulty,distance,fun factor,ride ability in wet weather and directions as the directions and google map on NOBMOB seem to keep taking me to some place in Artarmon which I'm sure is incorrect.
I've never rode at Menai and I thought it was off limits nowdays but I've been told it's recently re-opened with new singletrack that's supposed to be quite good so I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Thanks in advance.

Found at Menai this afternoon.
Let me know if you or someone you know has lost one.
Menai / Lucas Heights - Its getting close to opening again!!
Just a note to say that Menai is very close to becoming open again!!! There was a ride day yesterday for the volunteers who have been doing the trail building (upto around 9kms at the moment) of nearly all new trails.
There is more information available on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Menai-MTB-Park-pr... and for anyone who has ridden there previously, its looking good. It has similar feel to how it was originally but with better trail construction.

RE: VEHICLE & MOUNTAIN BIKE BAN - MEETING, THURSDAY JULY 7
On behalf of all MTB riders I would like to thank all who attended the meeting and especially the efforts of Gavin Atkins, the ANSTO Media Advisor, his approachability, interest and concern were greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Dr Simon Kean from NOBMOB & Trail Care, who has been instrumental in his support to help us reach a timely solution.
Menai (Lucas Heights) Closed to the Public
Terrible news for MTB riders: The area at Menai (aka Lucas Heights) has been closed to any kind of public access, which of course now means MTB riding there is banned.
This looks to be a very serious move, with signs erected and riders reporting federal police are now patrolling the area.
Sorry to report this everyone - it was a great area 
See MENAI (LUCAS HEIGHTS) is officially OFF LIMITS to MTB's thread for more info.
Update 4/7/11: Having spent all day chasing the matter, Steve Mowle has managed to convince the ANSTO management to meet with Mountain Bike riders to discuss the use of Menai. This is an outstanding achievement. Please show your support and attend the meeting if you can - see ANSTO/Rider Meeting (Re: Menai Closure).
Update 4/7/11: Correction: Sorry folks - this is not a public meeting. Please do not show up! Those who go will be sure to report back though.

The nanny state strikes again!
First Timers @ Menai
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
Would like to ride Menai for the first time, are there any locals that can show me and mate around?
Thoughts on these trails...
Just rode Yellowmundee and loved it....thanks to the WSMTB who maintain it....nice, flowy, fun, fast....
So i am just curious how some crew out there would rate the following tracks in terms of difficulty, fun, fitness level, flow....and any other info they may wish to add...have chosen these cause i either regularly ride them or rate them as my favs....
Ourimbah, Menai, Yellowmundee, Manly Dam, Coondoo
