Windy Pt - Coppermine Being Converted To Nana Track

Postby onyabike on Wed 9/Sep/09 4:42pm

Yip there was a Nelmac digger up there today just before Coads creek. Continuing with the task of turning prime singletrack into benched boredom. Sad to see an historic journey that was alredy quite accessable to bikers and walkers lose some of it's back-country feel.
Anyhow, ride it now while it's still work in progress!

was up there on Sunday and there has been some work done on the section between 3rd house and Windy point, by the sheer numbers of riders we saw coming back from Windy point heading towards 3rd house I'd have to say the extra trail maintenance has been well received. Rest assured though if you carry on past Coppermine Saddle you're still in for one hell of a fun descent into the dam... :D Awesum day yesterday riding down with water flowing underneath us and the blue sky, warm weather above. :thumbsup: perfect.

Sad indeed. Still, in a few years it will have eroded back into a more entertaining state, and there's plenty of other tracks in the area that are still untouched and challenging (and illegal). :)

These pics arent taken quite in exactly the same spot, but are close and just before Windy Point. First one is about four years ago. Second being today.
