Lysterfield MTB Park Trail Building

[ando_assi]

Sorry to be a pain, but just want to clarify whether the jumps/pump track is "open" for riding?

I know some of the trails at Lysty are now open, but just wondering if it's ok to ride the pump track when the weather drys up a little?

Thanks

The best place to check would be LysterfieldMTB.com

At the moment the pump track is closed because the tread is still a little soft!

there is a track closed sign! and bunting (but that doesn't seem to stop people at Lysty!)

Easter Trail Building

All,

Just a reminder that the Easter Trail Building day is on this Friday & Saturday.

Mini Digger will be on site so a little less digging and alot more trail distance to be covered.

We will be working on Hug and Upper Blair Witch Trails and hope to open these trails after the build sessions.

See you there.

Just another silly question... Can I bring my bike to ride to the trail build site? Don't know if I will have my car available?

Thanks!

 

[retroenduro]

yeah i guess so. some of the trails are open now as is the pump track too.

 

[Olly76]

Yeah please bring along as we will need a few bikes on the day, re-aligning some of the trails and need it to be tested before we dig in all the drainage and finish the trail off.

Cheers Olly.

lost my samsung phone on the trail build

Good fun today helping out at my first trail build, but lost my phone along the trail somewhere. If anyone sees it can you contact me on 97665667.
Thanks,
Campbell

9 Berms in total and hopefully all will rock . Will take a while to ride in but when it has bedded in I think it should run quite well.

Should now call it Upper Buckle flow trail...... Thanks for all who attended could not have done so much without the 30 bodies that attended in total.

pump track.

hi guys.
is the pump track open atm? or does it still need to be built some more?
cheers

 

[Olly76]

Pump track is open,

Have fun.

 

[danncam]

Thanks again for finding my phone Olly. Thanks Trailmix for keeping it till I could pick it up.

Had a go on the pump track, apart from me being shit, it was fun and it is built really well.

When will the nest trail building session be? Haven't rode in ages, but keen to help rebuild.

Cheers

I must say to all those responsible it is great to see some genuine trail progress at Lysterfield and it appears the park is now in good hands with an organised group of dedicated volunteers charging ahead in the right direction. There has been so much talk for a long period of time and it really is fantastic to see Lysty start to live up to some of its potential to be a great MTB venue.

Congrats to those responsible, keep up the good work. Pity I cant ride for another few months but as soon as I'm ready I will certainly be heading back out there to check the good work that has been done.
