Stage one of the rework of the DH track was completed today. We put in a new section between the start and the existing rock garden. You start in the same place , but turn off Mojo to the right after 50m or so , there's a sign at the turnoff.
It's pretty flowy section with a 3 line rock feature halfway along and more rock garden near the wooden ramp above the existing rock garden. The aim is to stop DH and XC riders from having to share Mojo. Eventually Mojo will be closed and the XC trail will be re routed so we can rehabilitate the area where the 3 rollers are.
Stage 2 will re route the DH trail after the existing rock garden , we're not sure where yet but have a few ideas. Once we decide on a route it will be submitted for approval and work will begin.
The fresh trail is soft and very dry so take it easy and check the right hand "hip" line at the rock feature before hitting it please. It's not rollable. Once we get some rain and the topsoil gets scrubbed off it should be faster and more fun than the section it replaced.
Cheers.
