Yellomundee Regional Park update for 13 Mar
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.

Subdivision Winmalee
Todd, JP & all -a new subdivision was announced in the Gazette behind St.Columbas/St Thomas' school on Hawkesbury Road. See BM Gazette http://www.bluemountainsgazette.com.au/story/136....
This my impact on walking/ mtb tracks but also may be a good opportunity for some Bmorc input to have a link put in to fire trail to Grose Head Sth. ??????
Cheers BrianH

LOST- Knog Blinder rear light. Off Halcyon Avenue, Winmalee.
So I had a bit of a stack in the bush off Halcyon Avenue on the sniggle leading to Springwood Ridge and Grose Head South. I had a Knog Blinder 4 led light on the back of my helmet and when I hit the ground I think it jarred loose. The clip was still stuck in my helmet. It is the red GT stripe model with a black silicone band. If anyone finds it, it would be cool to get it back. Ta.

The Oaks update for 09 Mar
All good apart from a large branch half way down Redwire on the right hand side half blocking the trail. Hardly worth an amber rating, but worth a mention.

Nepean River update for 07 Mar
Not to bad.
some of the steep hills are very loose and becoming quite eroded. Several puddles but not to bad. The lover creek crossings are becoming overgrown with lantana requiring a dismount and walking through. Sections of track are becoming overgrown with grass.

Yellomundee Regional Park update for 07 Mar
Rode a little bit of it last night. Mostly dry. Hidden Bridge has a long stretch of bog. The Lantana needs a good trim in spots. The weeds that were cleared next to the moto track have now been replaced by new weeds
All grass areas are very overgrown making it near impossible to see the track at times. A work day is definitely needed.

Kings School Mtn bike park
Here are the clues i have seen.
As most are aware. DIRT ART have begun construction on the Knapsack reserve Downhill trail. While hiring for trail builders they where looking for locals to the Blue Mountains and Parramatta.
A week or 2 ago Dirt art FB page mentioned a Mountain bike park contract for a Sydney Private school. I had questioned them on this and they said it would be announced later.
In a recent Dirt art fb post the mentioned Kings School Mtn bike park.
