Track Crew News - August 2009

Wairakei

Good progress is being made on the new track in Switch Back area thanks to all the people who turned up for the working bee the other day and all the regulars who are there every weekend chipping away. You know who you all are.

Walters Wiggles reroute is now wholed through, thanks to those people too.

James is getting closer to the bottom of Buzzard with the Coles extention. Worth a look to the more adventurous. If I can ride down there a lot of you others should be able to too.

The shelter in the car park will get finished when it has been signed off or approved. We got our hand spanked for being a bit eager and quick with that.

Everyone will have noticed the change at the top of Tank Stand with the trees gone.This is just about finished now but it caused a few problems at the last MTB race.

Other Tracks

Murray Fleming has built a new track off the Rotary Ride up near OD Park. Worth a look to check out this new loop. No signs yet [they are coming like summer only sooner]but easy enough to find.
On the way back to town on the RR turn left before you drop into the last downhill gully to the Hot Water stream bridge and continue up the gun club boundary. You will end up in a grass gully, ride down this then exit on the leftup to the playing fields then right and follow this along till you drop down another gully to the Hot Water stream bridge.
Just under 3km round trip from the bridge.This is the best direction to ride it in to.
