Aarrrggh very frustrating. Took 2 hrs to patch it back up. Was lucky there has been a little bit of rain.

To stop them getting onto the track, eg low barrier, heavy duty chain fence, stake filled moat?

The sad truth is that whenever there is a MTB facility of some sort, a moto will always try to get in and on the trails.

Not the sharpest crayons in the sky if you catch my drift.

Yeah got it sorted. It's a good set up surrounded by lantana with only one way in now, just have to dig a bit more and they won't get back in. The only good thing is when ever I rebuild something I add a few extra buckets of dirt to make it bigger and worth while.

the damage they do in my local area is so bad it has made myself stop maintaining trails and just have to watch them turn to a Rut filled mess after they tear them apart... really sucks .

Stoked you can get a deep ditch to keep the low lifes out

If not then 2 wrongs do not make a right-who is in the wrong?
