We’ll meet at 6:30pm in the car park. It stays light until after 9pm, so we can get 2 or 3 hours in. The new loop has been open for a few weeks now and is getting good feedback. There are a few minor jobs to do finish it off. We also have more woodwork […]

It’s the general election night 2010 and we’re going to spend 2 hours doing some trail building. The plan is to shape and reinforce one of the berms and to build a special “one way valve” rock feature to discourage people from cycling down the return loop for the new section. It is not necessary

Thursday On Thursday evening we spent a few hours working on the trail. Present were Alan, new recruit army Mike and myself. We dug out the straights between the berms on the new Red section and filled them with rubble. It rained for a while. Saturday On Saturday I arrived at 10am and spent a

We tidied up the trail on the South side of the pitch. This was originally build in December 2008. The line was straightened out a bit and a new berm was built in place of a tight corner round a tree. Meanwhile, on the North side of the pitch another pointless corner was removed. Finally

Phil and myself (Tom) added a short link at the start of the trail so that the start was visible from the car park. See the complete build diary. Future events are on the events calendar.

We had a really productive day on Saturday. Phil and myself converted some pre-dumped piles of gravel into surfaced trail on the North side of the pitch. Meanwhile Steve and family shifted gravel. We’ve never seen so many riders out and about. Two went home and came back ready to trail build. With five of

Sunday was also a very productive day. Phil finished off surfacing down by the boardwork. When I turned up we then sorted out the mud pit after the two short sections of boardwork. Then we used up the last of the gravel piles and filled in a small patch on the south east corner of

Phil and myself (Tom) continued our work on the first rock garden feature. We then made a start on the second major rock garden on the trail. We built the lower section of this. The rock feature was finished a few weeks later and the first time I rode it was quite scary. We pretty
