Sand and snakes.
Just a heads up. Heaps of sand has washed down the tracks filling the ruts and is very soft. Came off yesterday on an easy corner heading down the tracks that go to the right off the road gap track. Luckily I wasn't going fast, just grazed my forearm and bruised my shoulder a bit.
Mainly for the XC crowd. Spotted a big Black snake on the creek singletrack. He was siting in the short grass on the side of the track. Thankfully I was rolling along at a good pace and by the time I realised it was there I had passed it.
This makes snake sighting number 5 in less than a month. Two in the Royal National Park, two in the Blue Mountains and now one on PM creek. They appear to be out in force at the moment so keep your eyes open.
Cheers,

Thanks CBG
Sounds like we need to get the rakes and shovels out to scrape the sand off the trails. Will be keeping an eye out for snakes. Hopefully they aren't out early in the mornings when we ride before it heats up. If it looks like a stick/branch across the trail ahead don't ride over it, stop and check. Snakes will slither away faster than you will try to move them (hopefully). I saw a black and a brown last summer along the Camden track near the slipway crossing so keep your eyes out there too.

got out there today round lunch time its still pretty wet and the trails are pretty soft and sandy and this rain has exposed sum new rocks and roots on sum of the trails but i guess its also set sum of the new lines and will be beter after it dries up a bit. That see saw looks sick you should start a new section sumwere and put it on it but i dont have any sugestion as to were it should be
yeh im really not a fan of that new line 2 slow and it doesnt look like its goin to be any good but maybe with a bit of work it mite turn out good but yeh alot of trails need sum work but i have seen sum new wooden structures that hav been put in so they should be good when there finished

Its all about co-ordinating a work day. Most of us that do the maintenance have other committments and can not get down each week. If you would like the line finished, next time we put a call out for a hand, volunteer. Many hands make light work.
