OMV Maintenance Day 06 April 2013 Pics
A big up to all the peeps (approx 20) who turned up in the rain yesterday to help out with some major earthworks and build work on the South Side trail. Tonnes of rocks and in-fill were moved to reinforce 4 key areas. Pics uploaded (sorry about iPhone quality) but you get an idea of the work completed.
Next official maintenance day is Sat 4 May 2:00pm. All welcome even if it's for an hour or two.
Pics from top down:
• Berm extension and re-grading (Blue trail)
• Tree roots now protected resulting in a new jump with widened berm on approach (Blue trail)
OMV Maintenance Day
End of Quarry Road, Hornsby.
Yes. That's right. There is no OMV trail fairy. So we need a couple of hours of your time if you are keen to help us maintain this great trail. If you have done this before, you'd know it is a great feeling to ride a trail you personally have had a hand in carving a berm or laying down rock armouring or trimming back plant growth.
There is no trail fairy - OMV is in need of some lovin'

OMV - The best place in the world?
How good is Old Man's Valley at Hornsby? I did a few laps there this morning then took my 9 and 12 year old boys there this afternoon. My 12 year old said it's "one of the best places in the world - like an amusement park but free!". And they both said now they can see why I'm so obsessed with mountain biking. It really is a great facility - I saw everyone from elite riders to guys on Huffys and parents with kids, but they all had one thing in common - they were smiling. Old Mans Valley is a fantastic example of a great MTB facility in the heart of suburbia, and great use of disused land.
