All good, works done recently are excellent.
Top Zig Zag section, 'alternative lines' (shortcuts kinda), some are getting pretty rutty - keep your balance! obviously getting a bit more use than a couple years back |

Vic Park - Racing Again | posted 40 days ago by dh_winner |
|
| Caution: There is a DH race being held in Vic Park this weekend. Practice Saturday, Race Sunday. If you come across a taped section of track, please (1) Dont move the tape or standards (2) Be very careful crossing. Dhers will be coming through at speed.(3) Please dont ride UP the race track. Weve had this before during race runs. It just endangers your life and ssipes everyone off. |

Craigieburn | posted 50 days ago by Dogskcollobs |
|
| It was in pretty good nick on Saturday 15/11. Scree's still pretty loose but rideable, one tree to duck 1/2 way to the saddle and a couple of damp spots on the luge but otherwise bloody good. Another week of good weather will see it mint. And thanks to whoever cut the steps into the snow at the end of the valley. Sweet. |

You should stay aware, the trail conditions are dry and no slippery roots to slow you down on these prime piece of beech singletrack forest, plenty of windfall, but who cares!
Down to Townsend has plenty of more windfall, more climbing through the downed trees with little or no bash paths, but still worth every metre! |

Road to Lake Taylor has been graded with most fords having a concrete crossing. The tracks have a few large puddles but apart from that they are ok.
Track to the Hut has many trees down though and requires alot of hike a bike. |

Flying Nun - Port Hills | posted 92 days ago by Tama |

An update on last weeks post - The top section of the Flying Nun is still totally awesome and half of the lower section (below Dyers Pass Road) has been cleared with a trimmer. Cheers Nick, you're a star  |

Flying Nun - Port Hills | posted 99 days ago by Tama |
|
| The top section of the Flying Nun is awesome at the moment, there's been some great trail work going in up there. However the lower section (below Dyers Pass Road) has some head height foliage/ bracken that can catch you unaware. On Sunday there was some head height bracken just before a steep drop into a muddy culvert to catch riders out. |

Hanmer Springs | posted 105 days ago by Tama |

| The Hanmer Springs trails are in good shape. There was a few muddy patches to be found at the bottom of Bigfoot but apart from that they're nice and tacky and ready to ride. |
