Help save Quarry Road Track!
Following my previous post regarding the apparent closure of two sections of the Quarry Road Track linking Dural from Hornsby, all SNORC members have received and email from them, and are paging all riders with a passion for preserving tracks to take some more action (in the midst of action for the building of other tracks):
"Dear XXXXX,
Berowra Valley Quarry Trail suddenly closed????
Here are the facts you need to know in order to still ride safely and legally.
It's open!
OMV Stage 2 is now open. And it's quite different to stage 1.

How slack do we look as stakeholders?
On Saturday (12-4-14) the Blue Mountains Off Road Cyclists held a Volunteer day on the Oaks single track. This was supported by National Parks and Synergy.
How slack do we as Mountain Bikers look when only 3 volunteers turn up to a track day for thee most popular track in the Blue Mountains and one of the most popular tracks in all of surrounding Sydney.
