MTB Trail Working Bee Results

The focus of track work has been to get the course ready for the Pleasure & Pain on 28 August which requires 25kms of primped and primed trails. There had been some damage to 'Pig' track by cows (yes, we do see the irony) getting through from the farm that borders it, but that has been bypassed with a flowing section of trail that will getter faster and faster as it beds in.Asbestos corner has a new section and the trail leading off it through to the logged area has been re-opened. While you are in the area of the creek crossing, you will see that the grass on missinghams trail (the trail that runs along the fence line after you exit the creek crossing) has been slashed and cleared with the sled (no 2011 National Marathon champs style paddock bashing on our trails - we not only cut grass, we cut back to bear earth, pack it down and fill in the holes)

Did someone mention 'Monkey Wrench'? come along to the next working bee and find out where it is.

Over in Cows with Guns, 'Barking Spiders' has been rejuvinated and is firm and fast on the drop into it. There are a couple of short new lines down near the creek and gravel base added to the soft areas - this will firm up and bed in nicely.

Thank you to those who came along to the working bee on Sunday. It's great to see people taking pride in the trails they ride. Thank you also to the chefs who put on a great BBQ and chocolate cake (we must be the most well catered for trail workers around). Finaly, those who didn't have to rush off got to enjoy a lap or 2 of the trails. A perfect sunday.

It will all happen again next sunday (7 August) meet 8am at the sawmill.

Hope to see you there
