Rode this today and so glad i did. What a great mix and super fun too. Huge credit to all involved in making it so.
Very easy to see that alot of sweat and thought has been put in.
Loved the little signs too. Awesome idea and a great way to have people understand more of the trail.
If i didn't forget the camelbak at home, i'd still be out there. Thanks again

Crank It
Rode Crank It to the Right today. The mound at the Junction of Left & Right looks good now. At the bottom of C I Right a wooden ramp down near the Creek has broken badly. I put a large rock up to warn people off, that way. It is easy to get around the broken wood, but it would be very dangerous to try and ride over. 'As it is not there'.
The Road crossing at Peter Meadows has now been changed lots by the road crew. I think the Council is trying to stop the dumping of all the Palm Trees and lots of other stuff, so is blocking everything off. Fair enough.
There is still a way around the Firegate on the South side. But at the moment it is a step through.
A MOTO had tried to ride The Rock Trail and did a lot of minor damage. I don't think he meant to damage, but as Motos are not as suited to the trail as MTB, he moved a lot of rock etc.
Made my ride a very backbraking ride. For his 10 minutes of fun it cost me around an hour of repair. Still yet to see a Moto Rider doing any maintenance out there.
Ride those XC trails and get that Downhill roaring.

Kentlyn XC
Rode most of the trails today and all are okay, except.
South of Peter Meadows Rd a 4WD genius tried to drive on the singletrack, taking out about 40 young trees/shrubs.
He has made a mess but all still rideable.
The first bridge in the LUGE is now not rideable.
I think the Fairies will be in there soon.

GoPro Film
Just rode 51kms through Kentlyn/Smiths Creek/Airds. Little water but quite good. All riding well.
Met 6 other riders out there. Three crazy guys jumping off everything/top riders.
Where is the GoPro vid? Is it on youtube? Or is it still in production.?

Still in production, I just haven't had a chance lately but I do have some on you tube from December and January.
Here is our 1st run there. We had no idea where to go back then. This was also my 1st time at editing. My videos are getting better now.

Rain @ Kentlyn
Kentlyn is rideable all the time. Yes the main Peter Meadows Creek Trail does have a few water crossings. You will get sand in your gear if it is actually raining when you are there.
The Rock Trail @ Boronia Rd is always okay to ride and holds no water.
Enjoy those trails.
