Is Wylde track at Cecil Hills actually open to the public now? Seeing a number of posts from others but note it is still listed as 'under construction' and 'opening 24th August'. I drove past the other day but all the fences were still up. Looking forward to riding it - would love to get a ride in before going to the official opening.

Does anyone know if you can ride trails from Emu Heights and link up with Yellomundee Regional park? If so anything one needs to be mindful of?

I've got a friend who loves MTB but hasn't been in years. He's out of shape, just out of surgery, etc. I'm looking for something with carparks at both ends and mostly downhill. If you have any recommendations please advise on bike requirements. Currently all he has is a 1980s rigid.

As a side note I'm on a Norco Bigfoot. Is there anything interesting to hit up in the inner west?

Saw this posted on the Dirtz facebook page:

"It dismays me but an anonymous complaint has been submitted to Penrith Council in NSW, Australia re the LMX ( Luke Madill ) BMX track. Because its easier, Penrith Council are proposing to have the track torn down. The track features 2 x start hills ( Australia's first 8m ), dual straights on every straight except the finish. It has played host to riders across the World and currently plays host to all of the LMX club members, including many young children. The French team will even be using it to train on in the upcoming weeks.
