 Posted: Tue 1st Jul 9:40am Post subject: Track Closures On The Port Hills |
  |
|
Since Saturday 28th June nearly 100mm of rain has fallen on the Port Hills. Significant damage would occur to many of the tracks if ridden at the moment. Due to internal issues with the City Council Web Content Team -the Port Hills Track Status Page may not be able to be up-dated as quickly as I'd like.
So tracks closed are- Anaconda, Godley Head, Green Wood, John Britten, Castle Rock, Witch Hill, Mt Vernon Shared Use, Bowenvale Traverse, Old Bowenvale Down Hill, Marleys Hill, and Old Dyers Pass Track. Tracks in Victoria Park should be avoided as well.
Will up-date again as soon as conditons improve.
Thanks to everyone who kept the bike in the shed over the weekend.

What are you doing up there? and how long for? Make sure you go ride Richmond Hills up through Easby park. I hope you took your xc bike.

pretty sure he has been here before  Not so sure he is able to remember his user name and password each time he comes back 
So anyway, i was wondering if there is any update on the tracks... one full day of sunshine and one day of Nor-west. Has the traverse dried out enough to ride??
