We've had a bit of drizzle today, but it's been fine for just over a week, so I expect the trails will soak it up. The shuttle will be running tonight (Tuesday), 5.15pm Burger Fuel, 5.30 Waipa carpark, 4-5 uplifts before dark!
Check out the new trail called Turkish Delight that runs through the middle of the Soakhole track block, start either off Katore Rd near the ponds, or near the bottom of Eastern Spice (turn-off is signposted). Turkish crosses the Soakhole track a few times (all signposted), take care at these intersections. This is a great track to combine with Eastern Spice and the Exit Trail for a long mellow downhill run, or after you've climbed up Lion Trail or Pig Track, head down Turkish and then down the Exit track. |

| Trails riding great today. Little bit of surface water still around from recent rain so slippery in isolated places. Care should be taken on lower half of Rollercoaster as trees have been felled across trail, with a couple of hike-a-bike sections to negotiate. |

| The shuttle will run today from 1pm, if it stays fine this morning. We've had 3 days of rain, so even this afternoon the trails will be slippery. The forecast is looking ok, mostly fine, with a few showers. |

| Southstar Shuttle is running today Sat 27th September. The trails are dry after a week with no rain, weather is bluebird, so get out there. Stefan Bennett has sawed the trees that were across Tuhoto Ariki and the PD crew have been working on the top half of the jumps track turning ruts into smooth goodness. Also check out the new Corners track - a 15 minute downhill grade 3 starting where the Jumps track crosses Hill Rd. |
