Hi All.

I've started this thread to keep you all updated on the, now legal (YAY!!!!!), trail maintenance days out in the Warburton/Wesburn area.

All maintenance days will also be posted here on FaceBook, but if you re not on FB, I'll try to remember to post it here too.

Lots of work is needed and I know a lot of you are very passionate, and have expressed interest in helping out in maintaining this mecca of a MTBking area!

Hope to see you all out on the trail soon!!

Cheers

Anyone who would like to be involved with a delwp sanctioned track maintanance day leave yr name in comments.
Day 1. Mindcrusher xc loop 21/5/16,
930am start.
I am looking foreward to many people responding. As there is a dwelp framework to familiarise myself with there will be limited numbers to start with. Along with yr name please let me know if you have done IMBA course and also if you would be more commited time wise to train up to be a crew leader. Thanks Matt V

So stoked on all the people who are volunteering thier time to get our tracks sorted this sat. Dewlp stipulates the use of PPE. 20 hard hats, high vis vests and specs will be provided. As there will be more than 20 of us attending it would be great to bring yr own if you have it. Also wearing some work boots and gloves is a good idea. If you can bring brushcutters, sheers, rakehoes, mattocks and shovels it would be much appreciated. Meeting at old warburton Rd and crusher track, Wesburn. 930. Good on you champions.

Most of the updates on trails in Warby will be posted on the YRMTB FaceBook page, but I'll try to post here also. Anyone can read the info on the FB page, so you don't need to join up if you don't want.


Hope to see you all there!!
Doug.

Hey all.

This is a post from the YRMTB FaceBook page:

So awesome to see mtbikers working together and getting seriously pro results on the tracks we all love to ride. Big thanks to all for giving up their Saturday ride time. Can not thank Steve at Coates hire enough for providing us with high quality equipment to tackle the hard stuff with and the Wesburn kitchen for giving us sustained with well made lunch packs cheers.

To those who didn't make it we are doing it all again on the 4th, 5th and 11th, 12th of June. Respond to verrusom@yahoo.com.au so I have an idea of who and which days to coordinate. We still have a lot to do before DELWP can officially open the tracks. Minecrusher is half done then on to Warp and top track. Dig deep Matt V


Hope to see ya'll on one of those dates!!

******* Mind Crusher Track set to OPEN for Winter riding ******

Yep!! But before it's officially opened we need to do one last push to get the remainder of the trail up to IMBA standard.

We need a good group of vollies to come to the next official trail maintenance day, so we can open this trail for Winter riding and keep those "undesirables" off it.

Sunday 31st July is the next maintenance day.

We'll be clearing the overgrowth on the climb, fixing a few features and giving the loop a good ol' sproose up!!

May hands make light work, so I'm putting the call out there for a good showing.

If you've ever ridden this track or want to explore it, I'm urging you all to give a bit back to the trail and help out.

DELWP will be there and all PPE will be supplied.

Details:
Sunday 31st July
9:30am - 4pm (if you can only help out for a few hours, we'd love to see you!!)
Cnr Crusher Track and Old Warburton Rd, Wesburn.
Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/SZpNDhJ2bf92

Bring any of the following:
Shovels
Mattocks
Rake Hoe
Nail Rake
Water
Sturdy footwear
Food

Any questions, shoot me an email to secretary@yrmtb.com.au or leave a comment.

Everyone is welcome!!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!!

Next Trail Maintenance Day on Mount Bride Trails

***** YRMTB Mount Bride Trail Maintenance Days******

2 All Mountain trails are set to open on Mount Bride.

But to get them to a legally ride-able stage, we need to begin some much needed trail maintenance on them.

As you can see by the pics, there will be a fair bit of work needed including re-constructing features, re-aligning damaged sections of trail, clearing storm damaged sections and general tidy ups.

It's going to be a massive job, so we'll need all hands on deck!!

Date: Saturday 3rd & 10th September.
Time: 9:30am
Where: Meet corner of Edwardstown Rd and Mount Bride Rd Warburton.
Google Link: https://goo.gl/maps/FsasbprptUA2
Bring: Shovels, nail rakes, mattocks, picks, chain saw (with qualifications), Personal Protection Equipment, Rake Hoes, food and water.

These trails are the most unique trails around and will satisfy any mountain bikers apatite for adrenaline!

The last maintenance day turnout was amazing and we'll need those similar numbers to get these last 2 trails ticked off by DELWP so everyone can have a Summer of awesome LEGAL mountain biking here in Warburton!!

Really hope to see you all there!!
