As far as i'm concerned if they are going to drive a 30t bulldozer through it and you want to ride your 15kg MTB on some little tracks then it's unofficially open. Anyway what are you meant to do, MTB has been completely neglected, no facilities anywhere in Sydney but a few short trails in RNP where you wait to have a head on with another bike or walker around every corner.

Stupid actions often lead to excessively stupid reactions, however and more hopefully, riders and "builders" can see that this is a crucial time, which could lead to solutions to address the exact issues raised above re lack of formalised facilities for mountain bike riders.

I'd suggest we continue to consider the trails officially closed, considering it is officially closed and sign posted.

Reps continue to ask riders to keep off the affected trails.

Thanks for your support

To those mtbkers i saw at Menai this morn when I drove past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So,

After nearly a year we (the menai trail reps) have gained great respect from Council, ANSTO and Ganangarra groups in our push to gain LEGAL access to the Menai Trail networks. We are in the process of getting a GREAT thing for Mountain Biking in our area.

Please guys allow us to finish this project and limit the road blocks that some riders are throwing at us causing Landholders to stall even threaten to pull the pin.

So I know its taking time but hay Lithgow took 3 years to get to where we were at 4 months.

We are gaining ground and fingers crossed we'll be Legally riding "downward slopping technical " and xc trails again soon.

Thanks for staying outa Menai anywhere

Menai MTB Park. Great News !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are yet to hear...

GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have just returned from our SSC meeting with the 15 Councilors.
Our proposal was accepted unopposed.
11 months of very hard work has paid off.
The MTB Park will go ahead.
Our proposal was very positively welcomed by many Councilors.
We were unable to obtain interim use of the land in the meantime, so we ask all MTBers to remain off the trails until further notice.
Thanks to all who have offered their support and to those who took the time to send emails to the Councilors.
We will keep you informed.

Menai update...

To answer the main question: We have no exact dates as to when we will have access to the trails.

We are continuing to work with the SSC and ANSTO; completing a Memorandum of Understanding; finalising our trail rationalisation process, which includes the rehabilitation of some existing trails and the design and construction of new trails; trail signage and grading; and discussing our options regarding a future club structure.
All very positive, with work still to do.:tickled_pink:

We will be asking for help by way of volunteers in the future, primarily in organised trail maintenance days.

For further updates, or to post support, visit the Menai MTB Park proposal Facebook page.

Once again, we ask all riders to remain off the trails in the meantime.
