Alls well in the land of biking at the moment, maintenance on the tracks is moving along and new tracks being build.

 SH Fun down hill has been build and just needs a fine tune from the Beagle Boys to finish it off This is going to be a great track in the future once the trees grow and its not such a moonscape. This is the time to build new tracks after the land is prepared for planting and  before the trees are planted if possible 

The Great Lake Track is moving along at a fast pace with the boys over 2kms down the gully now.

 

Junk and Disorderly  is now open from both ends We are still to get the signs in place so the Northern entry is, cross the road  from Rapid Sensations ride about 20 meters along the bottom of the hill with the Oak trees and you will see a old track going up the hill, bike up that and you will find the track. On the other end ride into the scenic lookout across the road from Outwards Goods and duck into the hole in the blackberry on the right The track is great old school MTB track Keep your eye on the ball otherwise you will be picking blackberry out of your ass for a while  

 

We don't like bitching  but one thing that riders are doing  that starting to cost a lot of time and money is silly short cuts being build. We are required to have signage on all tracks so of course this means your neat little short cut can end up costing $100 in signage or the boys going in and having to close it off some how. Its also costing time with race set outs as they have to be taped off If you want to build something or improve a track flick us an email, we are all for the tracks being improved 

 

The Huka riders should be sick of training by now so all the best on the day Hope you enjoy the track system around Taupo 

 

Keep the tree reports coming in they are saving us a heap of time and it means they are clear (with luck) the next time you go past 

 

Still looking for Riders to help on the Huka All the money we receive from the Huka goes into the maintenance at Wairakei so its very important to us that this is a great success
