I know that most of us have from time to time ridden tracks that we perhaps shouldn't be, but here's a warning for those that blatantly ignore signs and laws.
On Saturday 8th March 4 mountain bike riders were apprehended riding the illegally constructed downhill track off Smiths Creek Track (that runs of the Perimeter trail in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park). Smiths Creek Track is clearly signposted at the locked entrance gate as a “WALKERS ONLY” track (see photo attached).

Two other riders were very lucky not to be fined as well, after they turned around at the gate to Smiths Creek Track after getting a warning phone call from one of the other riders caught.

The riders were fined $300 each for the offence of ‘Unauthorised entry into/use of park/road traversing park’.
The story continues here.
