Digging Saturday - I PROMISE to be there on time!!..

Any chance of any bakers attending?

Leaving the church about 9am, up on the trail head when i manage to get me, mrs barrow and all the tool babies up the track..

If you are coming from town park at top of hill.

By the way we could have this sucker completed before Karapoti - spread the word to those that can help..

I feel a party coming on...!

Hey, good progress today. Next week will be the week we reach the end. To that end on Thursday we will be doing a bit of maintenance work on the lower parts of the track. Meet at the end of Waiu St at 6pm Thursday or wander up if you arrive later.

If you have any naming ideas for the track you better get them to Tryfan as we now have a leading candidate as well as a few other possibles and too many no chances :) I'm not going to say anything here, I'll leave the official announcement for the celebration party :sly: (oh, was I allowed to mention that!). Come digging to secure your place on the VIP list :D

Even though the trails not finished you can walk the last few meters to the firebreak now as it is all cleared so get out there and ride, I know I will be tomorrow morning some time :)

Had a quick blat yesterday - been ages since I rode it. Going up is nice, but coming down is reeeal nice.

Big ups to Tryfan and Hickie for making it happen. imho a primo surveying effort. Tryfans drive for frequent grade reversals make for a fun floaty ride.

Cheers to Ground Effect also for tools.

PARTY, PARTY...!! - soon, real soon, but first we finish this sucka!!

PLEASE come help on sat - i will be up at the trail head by 9.30am on Saturday 10 feb. (Leaving my house near church at bottom 9am if you want to walk up with me and the barrow!)

If we get a good crew and the bakers are on hand to provide entertainment and sustainance we will break through to the gravel road at the top.

This is the big one - mark your diary and please come help ( spare picks might be needed if you have them)

Cheers - T.

By the speed of response.. (and dont take this the wrong way gentlemen, as i include myself!) - It would appear that you guys have nothing better to do late on a sunday than vorb..!!

Men of our age should be tucked up in bed getting their beauty sleep or better!!

Ho hum.. see you Saturday!
