Friday morning 9am at the gate-WORKING BEE to build a bridge. A helping hand or two would be great!
Mega effort by the team at the working bee today. THANK YOU. We managed to open up Horse track (a bit of debris clearing to do upper half) and an exit to Yippy, Native etc. So those tracks are now all go. Not sure what Bionic and Inside Out are like -haven't checked those out. Just need a bridge over the stream; we have thrown in the old bridge so its walkable but will need a rebuild for a rideable one. If anyone had some long 6 or 8 by 2’s to use as bearers then let us know. Also need some decking. Shrapnel and Grenade are also now good to ride. We have employed Jesse S over the school holidays to do some weed killing so that should clear the lines even more.
Now just have Upper Tunnel Vision and Ground Effect to go. Let us know if you are around Easter and want to give us a hand.
Massive thanks to those who have worked on the tracks these last couple of weeks. We are slowing getting our Maraetai back again! Hopefully by the end of the month we should have most tracks in some sort of rideable condition. We have a big winter track building season planned-depends on funders/forestry what that will look like.
But for now its a WORKING BEE this SUNDAY 9am at Rewa rd gate. We will be working on Horse track with the aim to get an exit for Yippy/Native etc sorted. If we get a good turn out we will have a crew starting top and bottom of Horse track and another from the end of the current Yippy exit (thanks to whoever has done some work there already)
