Ok contact everyone you know that rides Lysterfield...
The plan for the trail build this Saturday is to get some trail OPEN!!!
If there is enough volunteers we should be able to get Hug and Buckle ready to be opened. (or more?)
The more people we get the more trail we can open!!!
Build teams leave Trailmix at 8 am and 10am
Bring good shoes and some water

See you there!!!

Andy, can I ask if people are staying away and respecting the closeures?

There is definately less people riding, but there is still plenty of people riding them...
There is lots of people riding the fireroads, which is OK, its only the single track that is closed.

This is Lysterfield....so while it is dissapointing, it is not worth getting upset about.

It's still shut mate, The trails are muddy as usual. You will be waiting till the end of next month until the trails are open I Wreckon, but that's just a guess. Keep track on the Parks Vic website to double check.

I've checked the trail status and all the trails are still closed. Are things drying out at Lystefield and any ideas when the trails will be open?

One major objectives of saturdays build is to get enough of the trails in a good state so Parks Vic will give the ok open the trails. So come along and help get the trails open!

PV also need to clear some fallen trees over fire roads so emergency vehicles can get in, they're usually pretty awesome at doing that quickly.
