Saturday 30th May

It was a a chance to give some time towards track maintenance so a few of us met at mine. There was Tinkerbell, Bugs, Geez, Silverfox and Phatboy (oops that's right Phatboy slept in and forgot,:) and me. We rode up Huntsbury, taking the Tce instead of the main Road. Worked well. Considering a couple of us were working through the excess of the night before we went well. Even little old me. At the top we took the Traverse track which was open around to the top of Vic Park. It was very wet in a couple of spots which surprised me. From there we went down Thompson's to Sign of Kiwi and then up the road, onto Worsely Rd up the track where we grabbed some grubbers off the Rangers Truck. We met the work party and found out what they wanted from us. In the end we grubbed out a number of drainage channels while the others armoured some of the track below us. Put in only about 30-45 minutes work but x 5 people was good. We then had permission to test Marleys track which we took. The work everyone had done was awesome. We then rode back to the top of Vic and down the Rockgarden into the gums, which was wet and muddy in a lot of spots. Silverfox went down the road while the rest of us took Dazzas, (muddy) and then the old Nationals, onto K2 and then out. Muddy in lotsa spots along the way so taking it easy all the way. Good to be out on the track again.

Now the important notice.

Tree planting this Saturday with Trees for Canterbury. Going to start from mine at 11.30 and then ride to Marleys plant trees and then back. Be good to get a good turnout as this is about making our tracks better.
