In preperation for 'Cycle Epic'
(http://www.cycleepic.com.au/08epicweb/classic.html) I will be doing
runs of Sydney's known and legal MTB trails. At last count there are
approx thirty-four trails and most of which have never been ridden by
Unicycle?
As an added personal challenge to keep training interesting - I am
going to attempt to ride all 34 trails by the end of the August; after
each ride I will be doing a post trip write-up.
The trails have been documented by a Sydney MTB association using
Google Earth and can be viewed by importing the following file:

First on the agenda was Manly Dam which is a 9.6km loop (+260m/-260m)
of some very technical fire trail and single track:
Today I completed the dam on a KH29” w/150mm cranks and hope to be
heading down there again tomorrow (Sunday 4th May) to try it again on a
24” wheel w/150mm cranks as there were certain juicy sections which I
just could not do with the larger wheel.
If anyone in Sydney wants to tag along and join me, there invite is
there –I have a spare Muni which can be loaned for the day. I have some
work commitments early in the morning and so it would be a late
afternoon/dusk run.
Here's some photos I found of the trail, I will take some photos
personally tomorrow.
