OMV Requires Support
It appears the development of Hornsby Quarry and Old Man's Valley into a recreational facility may jeopardise trail network we have ALL worked so hard for.
Please share the following video, and encourage all in support of mountain bike riding to make comment in the video comments section.
Consultation Forums are about to start in regards to the development of the recreational space within these land parcels. Traditional sports are reported to be lobbying council heavily to take away mountain bike facilities in the interests of their own sports.
Community info day for Westleigh Water Board land - Ruddock Park
This Sunday at 12:30pm, there is a community event at Ruddock Park, Westleigh to discuss the future of the Westleigh Water Board site, which was recently bought by council to have the area transformed into a public sport/recreational facility. This facility hopes to include a legal MTB (similar to what OMV is like), the need to which is proven by the zillions of riders at the Hornsby track that are displaced as the track is closed for several months.

Hello NOBMOB
OMV to Stay Open
Posted on Hornsby Shire Council. Sweet.
Hornsby Shire Council has some great news for the thousands of mountain bikers who love the trail in Old Mans Valley: it is going to stay open throughout the rehabilitation of Hornsby Quarry.
“For a while it looked like we would have to shut it down, but now it will only need to close for a few months while it is altered,” Hornsby Shire Mayor Steve Russell said.
“Council knows what that trail means to a lot of people, so we put considerable effort into finding a solution that would allow it to stay open.

MTB trail for the new Malabar Headland National Park
The planning process is underway for the future of Malabar Headland in Sydney's east and people in the surrounding areas are eager for a nearby mountain bike trail. Currently there is not a single trail in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Please help all the mountain bikers in the Eastern Suburbs by advocating for this trail. The project needs all the publicity it can get to have a chance at becoming a reality!!
This petition currently has over 600 supporters, but the more the better to convince the decision-makers to allow this project.

I have a dream
That one day, we'll have flow trails around the slopes below the headlands of Pittwater, with views over the water that will compete for our attention to the trails.
In the meantime...
Mountain Biking Park and Gondola in Wollongong
Hi All,
The Wollongong City Council has commissioned TRC Tourism to work with the community to develop a vision for Mt Keira Summit Park.
There has been talk in the media of a mountain bike park with gondola rides.
Yes ladies and gents...we could very possibly have our very own Rotorua built within an hours drive from Sydney! Sure it will take a few years, but imagine how good it could be.
There are two upcoming meetings happening on Tuesday 8 March and Thursday 31 March, for those that are interested in attending and being involved you can register your interest here:
