Build tomorrow on the motorway again try to nudge the Table line and get the gap built up...3 PM

Build tomorrow wil be around lower taniwha, we will look at clearing the sides again, may look at heading to ressurection too.... the rain has made the Motorway wet so will stay off it for a while

This weekends build to be on lower Taniwha again , will look to clear from the big berm up to the water tank and get ready for spraying, bring a rake.... 3pm, gate will be open

Good build yesterday, cleared form the drop up to the off camber corner... have giving it a good going over and will look at spraying that this Friday,

Build/Ride this Friday, I have the day off (birthday) so I will be looking at focusing around Ressurection, Lower Taniwha area clearing the sides of the tracks and spraying, hope its a cloudy day so its not too hot... The gate will be open and i will look at being there from round 7:30 ish in the morning, hope to have a thrash on the bike too....

hey i can make a 3pm work bee today if its on. let me know.chris

Yeah man will probably have a quick clear on top part of ressurection then ride hope the weather holds...!!!

bring a rake..

Good build today , cheers to Chris for turning up and lending a hand, got the Ressa track semi cleared from the Gap up to the Push up / trail joint.. will look to get some spray down on it soon, and will look to hit the rest of the ressa trail over the next couple of weekends ...

Hey, went up for a look at the tracks on Monday morning. You guys are putting a lot of good work in up there and the tracks look great.

Just one suggestion, you should look at defining a narrower single riding line along the motorway, that track is a bit of an ugly scar at the moment (even though the features are cool). Maybe you could drag some crap/logs along the edges to encourage the natural regrowth?

Like along (below or above) the motorway???, Agreed it is ugly from the road or even closer, the trees haven't taken off very well yet but with the gorse getting slashed hopefully it will encourage them to grow.. the main reason i have added the tables is so that the other riders can still ride the track, probably the biggest downfall of the motorway being so big is that it picks up a mega amount of water coming form the chute and surrounding areas, if we were to build a track or try to encourage growth around there i guess we will have to add some solid drainage to deal with the water to limit the erosion..
We will be looking at making a track below the motorway that is all Northshore, which has a lot of trees already taking off but being Natives ( i guess) they are taking their sweet time about it.. But yeah we can see what we can do, another job to the big list .. Glad you liked the work being done, just wish i had more time up there

Build tomorrow, on Ressurection bit more clearing to get ready for a spray soon, bring a rake. and your bike get a ride in too 3pm gate will be open

bloody natives

Got a good clear done at the top of Ressurection yesterday and got some spray down.. hope to clear down the lower sections next week and get more spray down too, so if someone turning up next week can bring a spray pack that would be awesome weather permitting obviously

just thort id say found some fishing line hung across tuna on satday found a kite but it was tied to the trees so must have been put there on porpse at head hight

nah it had flown there on Saturday arvo but it wasn't tied it had broken loose from Shortland Street Brett had tidyed it up, nylon is a bitch and snags onto most crap, i was thinking the worst when he told me at the start..! But its all good now , don't think it got anybody and no one was hurt..
Cheers
