What a great turn out, nice to see so many of the regulars laugh in the face of the nasty weather and then to be treated to a shirts off day...

As for the warm sausage rolls and little pies, that has lifted the morning tea bar so high none of us GUYS are ever going to be able to reach so the tea lady better not even contemplate applying fo maternity leave

Thanks to all the showed up, Some top quality track was built

Just found this!! Not quite ready for ML just yet thank you!!

Yesterday was spent DIYing about the house - bought LOTS of wood for our soon to be bike shed So I hope morning tea was ok since I wasn't able to be there to keep up standards...

Snail Trail dig this week.

Sunday the 2nd August, starting from 10:00am

Meet at the trail end, wander up Labyrinth until you see the turn off just before the first section of wooden retaining. Digging is happening about 500m down the track.

We will be digging beyond the stand of Beech trees we got to last dig.

Food and tools and provided.

Also, be aware that Transpower are currently doing maintenance on their pylon access tracks. This means increases vehicle activity around the firebreaks and will specifically impact the pylon tracks that intersect Labyrinyth and the entrance to 491/Spoon Hill.

Will be there, but a little late

and not riding afterwards either

but I shall be there to dig

[fantail]

if you're going to be late anyway
maybe bring official [tah dah] halfway celebration cake

stats so far:
120m of re-benching
140m of rock breaking & rock trail construction
crossing engineered
plus 210m of benching & Tryfan-style rollers

Lots of compliments from trail godfather (Paul O)
second half should be easier...

[hickie]

Saw the little half way sign

We also managed to build the first of 2 planned switchbacks for this track taking us back in the to section of beach forest.

Many thanks to all those that show up today, hope to see you again in 2 weeks.

Horray for track building!
I am busy elsewhere, but good on you all for your WTP efforts.

I am really looking forward to seeing the results of this fine piece of 3 diimensional art

[sweet_P]

Ok - taken me a while to get around to this but here's some pics from Sunday's efforts

Bump for tomorrow, although the weather may be a bit dodgy...

Will post here if things are off, but we're a hard lot!

[fantail]

Rain didn't amount to anything today so I reckon it's going to mostly blow over... what a great day it was to be in Wainui ... pretty impressed with the wee lad who followed his dad down Spoonhill this afternoon - they are both VERY interested in this easier way down getting finished in time for summer!

[hickie]

Weather is looking ok for this morning so digging is a go :-)

[hickie]

Today we tweaked the section from the rock garden through to the beach trees. Although there are a couple of things left to do it rides very nicely now so give it a go, just don't forget you've got to ride back up...

Also very nice to meet Mr Bob in person for the first time, hope you enjoyed the trails
