Te Totara gully is coming along slowly.

You can now ride down the steep hill and around to the bridge bypassing the steps. Be carefully riding over the bridge! DoC are going to put another handrail on soon - it�s a bit of a drop into the cave.

The boys at Helistar flew some logs into the gully further down for us and we are now building another switch back corner to get around that set of steps.

After that we will just have two sets of steps to take out and then will take on the big hill at the top. This requires a zig, zag, zig, zag and another zig to get to the top, so this may take a little bit of time to build.

If you haven�t found it yet: we have built a little track up to the Tunnel track so you don�t have to ride on the road.

All the other tracks seem to be in good order just the odd mud hole on the Redwoods and we have a plan for that.
The people night riding say that the glow worms are great in Totara gully - so check them out!

Other tracks on the go are:

  1. Rainbow Point gully with a road crossing over SH1
  2. A track system from the end of the sewerage plant track past Cheery Island up to Bungy. A lot of this is already built and being ridden (downhill anyway).
  3. More tracks off the Outback including another uphill and a down hill going over some more horse crossings back to the Corner Shop Connection another track from the bottom of Cole�s killer down to Young pines.

Cheers Track crew
