Have you ever helped maintain the tracks you ride on? Here's a chance to help improve the tracks at Yellomundee Regional Park in conjunction with WSMTB Club. Saturday 25 May from 8.30am, followed by a BBQ lunch (by WSMTB).
We will be doing erosion control work to make the tacks more sustainable - so bring shovels, wheelbarrows, etc - and a ute or two would be great! Wear trousers and boots.
All welcome. Keep an eye on the WSMTB Facebook page for any last minute updates.

Yellomundee RP track maintenance
There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
Do you ride at Yellomundee? Then please help maintain and improve the mtb tracks there by helping out at one of WSMTB's track maintenance mornings. All very welcome! If every mtb rider helped somewhere at least once per year, then Sydney's tracks would be superb.
At our last effort on 6 April, a steep drop with rotting wooden pallets was hardened using rock facing. This helps make the tracks more sustainable. Edges were also cut back, etc.
