By the number of horse boxes visible from Scheyville Road, the equestrians were probably onto a good thing here so I returned with my MTB..

Local families living in or near Galston village can cycle safely to Fagan Park on scenic, continuous paved footpaths...

Build single track trails for bicycle use from Cherrybrook/Dural in Berwora Valley National Park, and link them with Westleigh and Hornsby.

The good news is that there’s a big slice of remote cycling heaven in the heart of the Hawkesbury- an entire 53 or 63km loop in fact...

With a little more political will, there is no reason why these trails couldn’t become world class works of environmental art.
