We are on our way after three years of thinking and dreaming we have got 700 odd meters built on theGreat Lake Trail (yep new name ) First part of the trail is coming down Chinaman's Creek which will then join onto the Kawakawa Bay track Should be a very easy ride down the valley to the Bay.

Boys have given W2K a birthday up to the bluffs on the Kinloch side The funding came from the Half Marathon so thanks to the Half Man Trust for surporting us

Rotary Ride Bridge is in, the higher handrails have people thinking its a bit narrower but believe us its just the same

Junk and Disorderly the new track the Contact Boys are building is getting closer and closer to Helistar hoping to build a link track to it from the end of Kev's in the next few weeks Otherwise just pop in the hole beside the lookout entry across the road from Outwards Goods. It a great old school MTB ride

Keep the tree reports coming in please its saving a heap of time as Bruce is out and about spraying and cleaning up the tracks so we can get onto them much quicker

To the people training for the Huka you should be just about lapping all the tracks by now If you have done it in the past in the Waikato River track system we are going to pop you up the first track off the river track The one that has the little board walk on it Its a bit easier

And to all those riders who are not doing the Huka we need riders to help on the day Looking for Pre- riders,Tail enders, and general mashals in fact anybody who can help would be great Just email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

The jig-saw is starting to come together

The lake track is about to start any day now just getting some jobs done around the place and waiting on the final paper work. Its going to take a few years to build but will be opened in sections so watch the web site for details

For those that have been crossing there legs Toilets for the car park are coming thanks to Shorty and the wise people at LINZ's great to have people who want to work with the community. I know this is boring to some riders but this is way overdue with the number of visitors we are getting to the track system.

The Rotary Ride bridge will be in soon Its been built and just getting painted at present before being flown into place

Thanks to the Mountain Bike club who found some dollars and have paid for a new realigment around the storm damaged area on Cork Screw. The same track fairies have also been running working bees fixing up Lunge and also rebuilding Squint around that same damaged area I think this was the last job after we got smashed by the storm

The Mad Engineers have been at it again and have got the first section of Junk & Disorderly open, Its pure single track heaven Just bike around to the scenic lookout from Kev's track (New exit) and follow your noise into the hole in the bush It will pop you out the other end heading for Helistar The aim is to have another link to Helistar without having to drop down to Huka Falls 

Thanks to all those that helped Marshal the Day Nighter Have to say it was one of the quieter days Marshaling we have ever had. Just the odd person flying into the scrub Track was great but the dust was a pain in the ass

And lastly a big thank you to the Half Marathon committee for running the Off Road Half which helps fund the maintenance on W2K. With out your help it would be much harder to keep the track in the condition that we do. Hope to have the crew working on the Kinloch side next week giving it a birthday up to the bluffs
