We have been working to add some new track. Should be interesting and keep people thinking. It is at the start of Rifle Range and is called Mother of Goatee. I will be working all good friday to have it open by the end of the day. Still needs some benching, rock work and another hit with the brushcutter.

Yeah, something a bit more interesting than just going flatout down the hill for a short bit. I think it will great with a bit of benching and some wheels over it.

Fantastic event. It was awesome to ride trails that had not been groomed to within an inch of their life. The rocks were great, downhills were a blast and the ups were rewarding if you wanted to really push it.
Best thing is, this track is better than both awaba and glenrock imo,but is closer than both for me. Will be heading there more often in the future.

Thanks to all
Thanks for coming red racer. Glad you enjoyed the trails. No problem backing up hey? Don't you have a 24 in port this weekend too?
Jaseh - We ride almost every dry wednesday all year round and some fridays and sundays. I will PM you my number if you want to meet up for a ride sometime.
Results are up. Links on the web at www.commonmtbfestival.com
I will write a race wrap up when I get a chance. Can't wait to go for a ride around the track and see how it held up and also how the new Mother of Goatee section wore in. It's funny building it and still not even had a chance to ride it.
Anyway big thanks to everyone who came and everyone who helped make it possible. Hopefully see some new faces up there soon and can't wait to do it all again next year.

Glad you liked it. Al's downer is good fun.
The trails are in great condition at the moment. We will be announcing some details for next years race soon and are planning heaps of new trail features too. It's amazing looking at the photos of mother of goatee above compared to how it is now. The first section is quite fast now.
