North Turramurra update for 12 Oct

Aside from the smoke that is now very thick around the area from all the hazard reduction burning, please be aware of several trees down along the North Turramurra fire road between the Clissold Road exit and the Stonecrop Road exit.

Those who know that section should recognise the following locations:
- medium size tree across 2/3's of the fire road half way down steep descent with water bars after you turn left at the McRae Place exit,
- Massive tree completely across fire road at base of steep climb just after Lover's Jump creek,
- medium size tree across 2/3's of the fire road half way up short mild climb just before Stonecrop Ave and Gwyder Ave fork.
- other debris at random locations that is either somewhat annoying or could damage a derailleur if you're unlucky and some sand patches where I've never seen sand before.

I did notice some scratches on top of the massive tree at Lover's Jump creek, which I assume were from the chain rings of several brave souls. If anyone did actually ride over it without dismounting, I tip my hat to you sir or madam. I didn't even bother to climb over it. Just walked around one end with the bike.

stay safe people.
