Manly Dam Closure - How You Can Help  
(6 comments) (link) Monday, 15-February-2010  7:03 PM - by Squidly Didly 
Warringah Council has put the brakes on bike riding for safety reasons around parts of the Manly Warringah War Memorial Park. Due to a bureaucratic error that happened many years ago the single track sections of the Manly Dam circuit have never actually been technically legal riding. As such, instead of turning a blind eye, or deciding to make an extra effort to work around what is their mistake, they are to penalise riders by closing sections of the track.

How you can help:

1. Write to members of council. Details here
2. Attend the next council meetings as a silent protest. Details here
3. Come on the show of support ride. Details here


Thank you all for your support.
