AMBC
St Ives - action needed by 27 Feb
Hi all
Kuringai Councils draft plan of management is considering mountain biking given St Ives sniggle cuts through it and they have land at HART.
The sniggle is basically as busy as Manly Dam and we need to ensure that riding is recognised.
There are at least 9000 mountain bikers in this part of Sydney, please make sure Council know they need to be part of the solution by providing trail and linkages to other land managers as part of the whole of government strategy published by NPWS in 2011.
AMBC/NoBMoB Skills Day
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
By request, cancelled and to be rescheduled to another date. We'll be back with another date soon! For anyone who has registered, you can either transfer to the next date or receive a refund. Just let us know.
In addition to the first AMBC NoBMoB only skills day at Ourimbah in June, there has been a few requests for a Sunday as well.
This extra date will have a XC as well as a DH crew, so should be interest to quite a few people!
The trainer line up will be:
Adrian Whittaker (XC)
Matt de Belin(XC)
Andy Couper (DH)
Daniel Chermak (DH)

So... let's try this again!
AMBC NoBMoB only skills day at Ourimbah.
Given the last date filled fast, but then had to be pulled due to conflicts at the course (Ourimbah) this has been moved to the following weekend.
The trainer line up will be:
Adrian Whittaker (xc)
Brad Mertens (xc)
Daniel Chermak (xc)
Susan Beck (chix)
Kim Stokeld (chix)
Andy Couper (dh)
With the above Kim says, "can do up to 30 for the xc, 20 for the chix & 8 for the dh"

Adrian Whittaker will be on hand with other trainers TBD depending on response. Susan Beck is available for chix if the ladies would prefer their own group.
See the thread linked above for details of cost.
Update: More space added 
This is a commercial event that will have to be paid for in advance. Will be posting a link to that shortly.
Gauging interest for NoBMoB only AMBC Day
Update: OK, it's on June 14 20 @ Ourimbah. Cost will be half price (ie. $80pp).
After the talk in that thread asking about AMBC thought I would have a talk with them about it. Clearly feedback like this is a good thing and I'm pleased someone who sponsors the site is so highly regarded.
I mentioned the level of interest here and asked if we could get a NoBMoB only day going. No worries they say, and if we did this could get a discount thrown in too. Nice!
