Many hands make light work

I went up to see what damage had happened to the possum trail this morning, needless to say, there are many trees down which are blocking the trail, i did as much as i could to get it up and running but i forgot to bring a big saw and secateurs, i only had a hand saw which was too small for some of the big stuff. There are some trees which have been uprooted and are blocking the trail.

I ask for those who ride the trail often to lend a hand on Sunday ( weather pending ) and help clean up the trail as its too much for one man to do. plus I got drenched.

any help is greatly appreciated,
I didnt get a chance to see what damage had been done to kevin costner

What time on Sunday are you thinking?

Both the Possums tracks and Austrian Enduro are clear of trees and storm damage now. Very very wet doubt they will be rideable by this weekend.

Has somebody cleaned it up already?

Let's just hope a damp Possum doesn't get trashed by a bunch of trail runners tomorrow morning

The event has been moved to St Ives showgrounds I believe.

Possom Trail? Austrian Enduro?

Where are these trails...

Both trails are good to go, albeit a little puddles, we need a few more nice sunny days
