Track Crew News - April 2009
Wairakei UpdateLots going on with new tracks opening, and old tracks passing into history. Thanks to all for staying away from the logging area. We have only one report of some tourists riding into the block to watch the trees falling down - They got told where to go.
Track changes coming up are that we are going to loose the Drone up to the old gate. This is going to be fenced off and go into the new golf course bird sanctuary. It�s a pain to loose this area but we are fully in support of the sanctuary as the bird life will make the forest even better to ride around in.
We are going to build a new Outback entry track
this will include two new crossings on the Laneway road. As part of the
deal in loosing the area we are getting some money to help with the new
track and also getting a big increase in the concession area to the
north of the Outback block so watch this space.
The Outback single track is coming along slowly but the end is in sight.

The Headland track seems to be winner and is getting lots of traffic.
For those not in the know it�s 27 Kms from Whakaipo bay around the
Headland and back to the bay. And its 22 Kms from Kinloch
All the track gear is on its way out we are gong to fix up the short
cutting above Kinloch and then digger will be attacking a few overdue
jobs.
HELP!
If you are not riding in The Moon Ride (8th May) and can give us a hand
marshaling

. Need a day and night shift, you get your
meals and some money for petrol plus you can ride as much as you like
on different tracks. The money all goes into maintenance of our tracks
so it like a working bee without the blackberries.
