10 tonnes of rock!
That's how much material was used last month to remediate a badly eroded section of the Manly Dam trail (8 tonnes of crushed sandstone and another 2 tonnes of flagging).
A small group of volunteers joined Trailcare for the first volunteer maintenance day at Manly Dam in more than 2yrs
The 3rd Saturday of each month is the new recurring date for volunteer maintenance at the Dam
Northern Beaches council and the rangers at the dam are supporting our sport by supplying material and hand tools for each of these days

To make sure that our trails are in good nick for the big Single Track Mind 7hr Race on the 29th April (the following weekend) we are looking for helpers to come out to work on a few sections of track Sunday morning.
There's also a few bits of illegally dumped rubbish that would be good to remove too.
If anyone knows of any spots on the STM track that need work then let us know. On the whole the track is riding pretty well but we might as well have a crack.
I believe we mostly need to work on:
- The top of "Bogan's run" just before dead pig dam
Latest Photos from the Awaba Build day on 13th June
This past long weekend saw an excellent turn out for the build crew. There were the usual regulars but also a healthy mix of fresh faces so things progressed quite quickly.
This piece of trail passes through some unforgiving countryside and has required massive amounts of digging, but it will all be worth it once it is ridden in. Expect to find a steep pinch or two, some fast downhill sections and the biggest berm on the trail to date.
With the next build day only 3 weeks away, we should have this section opened at the start of July.
