I have also heard that the first build day may be the 8th, not the 12th.
Thks for the update - that sounds somewhat promising
Can't wait to try this trail.
Any new news? Is it still closed? Any idea when it might open?
Still closed.
Track work is taking place on the 2nd saturday of each month. Next track day is saturday 16th. Contact the above email to get updates. There is a sticky thread here on Rotorburn that also keeps you upto date. If you are wishing to attend the trackwork day you will need to take an online council induction and fill out the forms that have been posted in the sticky thread. Very easy to do.
Just a quick update.
A group of around 20+ people showed up this morning to some work on a section of existing track.
The guys organising these sessions are doing a great job and have good vision of what can be. The section we worked on this morning featured a number of drops up to 3ft with good natural landers (we were clearing around 3+ metres on the little test session at the end). There is also some great work filling in some badly eroded sections and some nice berms coming together. These have all been constructed with good drainage features. It's fair to say that when complete this won't be a bog standard XC loop although there will still be B lines around the technical parts.
The group I worked with managed to trim back about 1km of trail to widen the corridor and stop the bush encroaching on exposed, fast moving skin. We were advised that a fair section of this will become a raised boardwalk style to avoid delicate ground.
Anyway, for those missing riding there, come along to to the next build day in March and help to make it happen sooner. The council has a decent budget to plough into this so come along and have your input and lend a hand to what will become a great track with a huge amount of challenge and variety!
