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.
