Track Crew News - March 2010

Thanks to the little people that come out at night and fix the tracks and JB for getting the paint can out on the new Tunnel track icon. Lots of people ferret away in their own time improving the tracks we all ride on don’t be shy and ask if you can lead a hand.

I got an ear full from some of the older users of the tracks the other day. If you come up behind some walkers please slow down and let it be known you are there before passing. Don’t take it for granted that they can hear you coming. We have always taken the stance that we are not that pea brained about sharing the tracks we build plus showing respect to other users will only lead to more tracks opening up to MTB around the area.

We expect the logging of the Paint Ball, Mays Maze area to start 1st or 2rd week of March

This means that the access point into the bottom of Q line road will be closed off You will still be able to park on the road side but will have to use Outwards goods as the access point. As some stage Ferret will also be closed when they drop the trees along side Q line road. Don’t be a dip stick and ride any where near the logging or go into closed areas as this puts everybody’s’ access to the forest at risk.

The Buzzard has got an interesting and testing section about half way down just to keep you on your toes so if you haven’t been down it for some time watch out other wise all the tracks seem in good nick.

Have got the new section of the Huka Lodge up hill open and will start picking away at the next bit as time allows. The Redwoods hill has had a birthday is much better to ride home now

New maps are out with an overlay of our concession area Ride only in the green areas please
