The Mountain Bike Strategy for Sydney North is a work in progress name proposed in November 2009 for those involved in trail planning, mainly for mountain bike riding in the North of Sydney. This came about after a meeting with NPWS and other clubs and stakeholders with representatives from the following:

• DYMTB - Dee Why Mountain Bike Club
• HSMBA - Hornsby Shire Mountain Bike Alliance
• IMBA Australia
• MTBA - Mountain Bike Australia
• MWMTB - Manly Warringah Mountain Bike Club
• NoBMoB - Northern Beaches Mountain Biking Group
• NSW National Parks
• World Trail

The idea of this site is to take the collaborative spirit from this meeting and expand on that. This site serves the following purpose:

• As a place to spread news about trail development and advocacy in the Sydney North region.
• As a place to discuss the issues, ideas and processes for better trail development and maintainence in the area.
• As a place for users from all disciplines and recreational pursuits to post ideas for where they would like to see trails created.

On that last point, it should be made very clear: The trails depicted on this site are fictitious! They are simply users ideas of what may be possible. They do not exist now and may well never exist. However, without getting ideas, and lots of them out in the open we may never know what is possible and what is not. So this is an open invitation to the community - post your ideas and share your wildest trail dreams. Discover how the land managers, other stakeholders and wider community receive them and hope that at least some of them come to fruition through the processes being worked on at this time.
