Guess what everyone..... the next build day is coming up fast - September 5.

During the August build day we made some great progress on the trail to the north of little Falcon rd. We aim to continue this section and push through as far as possible. This should see us reach the two new 'bowl' sections which will put grin on your face so large that they will have to chisel it off when you die.

This section of trail is pretty easy building and we will be able to make quick progress with lots of hands.

We are hoping to get this section opened for the Fat Tyre Festival in November so we could use all the help we can get.

The usual start time of 0730 will apply. Meet us at the carpark then, or make your own way out to the build site later.

Bring some tools and some food/water.

Hope to see you there!

Update: Some of the build crew will be arriving at 0630 in order to get an early finish to get to family commitments for Fathers Day. I'll likely be staying back a little longer so feel free to turn up whenever you can make it.

If you can't build trail on Fathers Day, what is the word coming to?

My word that is an awesome piece of track.

Kudos to Ross, Dallas & Wayne for their planning. The grins will be there!

New Trail

Yeah this should be a fun bit of track. :) Does anyone know the extra length this will add to the red loop?

And here I was building a berm on that tightish corner only to find out we actually ride up that section of track. Whoops, too late now! You'll just have to rail the corner up the hill. ;)

I'd like to see an underpass for the XC trail at the bottom of the DH track so we can use the front loop of trail on every lap. One of those concrete arch sections as used on the Adelaide Nats XC track would do the trick. Think of the jump we'd be able to make on the DH finish chute.

There's been a bit of discussion around a track overpass at the DH/XC crossover. Will be interesting to see what innovative outcome we wind up with. :)

Cant wait to ride it..!!
I still dont know where that bridge went???

That fallen tree that jumps up quick is calling for an awesome A-Line straight over it at speed that would be so GOOD..!!

Went out and rode the new section on the weekend and came away impressed. I know there has been discussion over the years about the style of track the club wants for racing versus what social riders want for fun and now there is finally something for everyone.
The use of the natural terrain is great compared to earlier parts of the track and the flow is getting better all the time. Am i mistaken or did i actually see a couple of rocks? I'm also pretty sure i got airborne a couple of times.
Credit to those out there building and keep it coming.

Hey guys, ride the track a fair bit and love it, new section is great but is it possible to change or remove the 2 singles as you rejoin the track. I just don't see the point of jumps to flat, at the moment I have to break into as I think they could Almost be doubled (would work sweet as a table top). Just my thoughts, see u at the race

The two singles are there because there were two logs across the track. Rather than cut and move the logs, we left them as they were and just built up both sides. There are no plans to move or re-model at this stage.
