Ride Database Entry:
Appin Meeting Point:
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.

Details:
Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well. We'll possibly be rerouting two sections, one on the first climb and the second on the descent to the roll down/bridge. Don't forget sunscreen, gloves and plenty of water.

This month we are probably looking at creating a new section of trail on the first climb to get around a pretty worn section at the 'Extra Track' point on the map. Some drainage clean up from the carpark to the top of the hill going in the reverse direction could also be on the cards.
I'll be out tomorrow afternoon for a walk around just to clean out the drains if anyone is interested in joining me at around 4:15pm. Bring a McLeod. I'll probably just walk the first half to the bridge. I might do the second half on Friday afternoon.
We are good to go for tomorrow. All welcome!
7 people turned up today!
We got a little more done than I'd planned for which was a great effort. The Extra Track section has been cut in and everyone who rode it while we were working said it was excellent. There are a few nice little features and instead of going straight up the incline the new sections now snake across the old trail a few times before getting back on just before my 'Drain' marking.
We'll see how it rides in and make adjustments as necessary but I'm really happy with what we got done today. It has definitely inspired me to mark out another reroute on the other side of the track but that one is going to be a much bigger job than what today was.
