Rode a full lap today. Great to see the Moto track has had a trimming and great work on the Hidden bridge. It has drained well with only a little trickle still running down the climb. Saw the new toilets next to the Shelter at Shaws Farm. Second tower of power was in great condition considering.

Areas needing work;
-North of the truck tyre is still over grown. The short decent to the Shaws Farm driveway had grass tickling my arms.
-The extra loop off the end of the driveway is buried under Grass, literally impossible to know if I was on the track at times.
-The short climb back up to the driveway is rutted, unfortunately the water bar I had helped build at the beginning of last years season has broken and gave way to water.
-Climbing up from the driveway was still a little moist at the bottom. Grass is a little overgrown.
-Kids Circuit is a little overgrown with grass tickling my shins.
-First tower of power is an erosion nightmare. Saw the old closed sign laying on the ground off track. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be up or not.
-V ditch was taped off with a closed sign although the tape was broken allowing access from the first tower of power.
-After the hidden bridge grass needs trimming all the way back to the start.
-The track running right of the 44 gallon is over grown with arm ripping Lantana and needs a good cut back. A section I rode chin to bar to avoid the Lantana.

From what I saw, the last trail care day was a small turn up. May I suggest that future maintenance days are advertised here as an event to reach a larger audience.

If the 1st Tower of Power and V ditch were open, we would have taken the sign and tape away. The motos knock down the sign, but at the V-ditch it is the mtb riders going through the tape.
