TB: Gc Vic Park Dig Day

Postby dh_winner on Mon 9/Jun/08 8:00pm

Hi All,

Dig Day again for this Saturday. Meet 9:00am Ranger Station. Were doing a bit of a tidy up around the park, 1st on the list being tidying up hospital corner down the bottom there. The amount that gets patched up depends on the number of ppl we get turning up. Remember this is not limited to DHers, everyone is welcome.
The more the merryer and there will be some bangas afterwards, Rumor has it that Muz has got the onion cooking down pat too.

As always this is a key time to come and have a yarn to us about patches of track you want fixed up. You never know, we might give ya a few helpers and leave ya to it.

Over and Out

Jono :cool:

yep. It used to be just one big corner with 3 pinned lines blind to each other meeting, hence the name, Hospital corner ;)

Meh... go ride Radi Garden. If you want fall line tracks there are plenty of others in Vic Park and I think it is fantastic to have something that makes decent use of the altitude in a way that is built sustainably.

At least now there is one piece of singletrack that is rideable by people of all abilities. Not everyone is an instant uber-god on a bike and many people who ride down Vic park will never have sufficient skill (or a decent enough bike) to ride the worn out mess that was old Dazza's. Now there is a track that lets people who are still learning and progressing their skills ride down vic park and have fun.
