Larool Trail Rock Garden
I was out riding the south side of Terrey Hills today and came across a pretty significant upgrade on the Larool Trail.
From the North end after you cross the creek they've laid tonnes of sandstone and sand to create one hell of a rock garden.
Having only ridden this trail once before I'm guessing that this area gets pretty nasty from the horse stud runoff. While this certainly makes it nicer to ride .. MY GOD IT STINKS. Worse than a public toilet.
They need to do this at the top end of the Sandy Trail.
Terrey Hills Wednesday Dawn Social
Park outside Terrey Hills Tavern on the street.
Until Wednesday the weather will have cleared up, the trails will be dry and we will have a great ride on Perimeter and Long Trail followed by a cold beer on a balmy night!
Maybe if we all together really, really believe in it, it will happen!
Cheers,
Volker
Wednesday Night Social Ride
Street Parking in front of Terrey Hills Tavern.
Hi,
it's been a long time since I have been on a Wed night social!
In order to revive this great tradition, I thought we might try an easy combination of Duck Holes, Centre, Perimeter and Long Trail, wash the smoke and ashes down with a beer at the turning point on Long Trail and be back at the Tavern before the kitchen closes 
:-)!
Well, I guess we monitor how the West Head closures develops and decide the ride on the day.
Terrey Hills gun club
Whilst riding the Mona Vale Road sniggle on the weekend I come across a sign on the side of the track highlighting the proposed addition of a rifle range to the existing gun club on Mona Vale Road, Terrey Hills.
It was also featured in the Manly Daily today.
Go to the Warringah Council website for further details of this proposal: http://www.warringah.nsw.gov.au/ePlanning/Pages/...
or search for DA2011/0305
Do you want to be riding in front of, beside or behind a rifle range?
What will the noise do to the native wildlife in the area?
freaky snake!
Went for a burn on perimeter and long last night and came across this thing spread across the track near the school
Late notice newbies ride Perimiter + Long Tracks Terrey Hills
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
This is an out-and-back at social pace. There are great views from a few spots so bring your camera if you like. The trail consists of fire trail, with some sand. It is non-techical.
At 22km return it is probably not suitable for young children, but my teenager enjoyed it last weekend. Weather is forecast to be warmish - mid 20's - so bring adequate water and your sunblock.
Cowan Trail
Can anyone comment on the legality of riding the Cowan Trail that runs off Long Trail at Terrey Hills please?
It appears to be a fire trail but has a sign saying walkers only...
There is also this comment in the ride section for Terrey Hills:
"Cowan Track
The Cowan Track forks off West about 850m from the Long/Perimeter junction. Although it is signposted, "Walkers Only" we have word from a that park rangers have confirmed riders are allowed here."

Mountain Bike Use of Illegal Tracks & Closed Trails
I have been asked to post the below by local rangers as a reminder to all that building illegal single track in National Parks is just not worth it.
Not only will you be fined and your work destroyed by the rangers, you will also show the sport of mountain bike riding in a very bad light and hinder efforts for legal trail access.
If you want to discuss this, please do so in the trail advocacy forum.
On Saturday 8th March 4 mountain bike riders were apprehended riding the illegally constructed downhill track off Smiths Creek Track (that runs of the Perimeter trail in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park). Smiths Creek Track is clearly signposted at the locked entrance gate as a "WALKERS ONLY" track.
Terrey Hills morning pedal
Park opposite/beside Terrey Hills shops, corner Booralie Rd/Yulong Ave. Or in the small carpark next to the RFS station & community centre.
