Royal National Park - Mar 31st

The MTB Volunteer day last Saturday was a great day we had a great turnout of people. Thankyou to the Rangers Leigh, Jessica and field officer Rick for arranging the day and supplying the equipment and morning Tea, Celia from Terracare for suppling the gifts and a special thankyou goes to Reece from CORC (Canberra Off Road Club) his knowledge and trail building skills was a asset to the project. The dependable bush regeneration volunteers, thanks again for your hard work.

We had a lot of new faces on the day which was great and all were keen to shed some sweat for a good cause. The weather was fine and a perfect temperature for trail work. The crew were very productive working on the north side of the creek of the trial trail. Building soil containment barriers and drains to divert the water off the track. Up the top of the track the crew laid crushed sandstone over the muddy sections and the other sections of the track we filled the eroded sections with soil and packed it down to give a longer lasting surface.

There is still a lot of work to continue on the track but the result of everyone's efforts are showing.

Thanks again for your efforts and I hope to see everyone back next month.

Manly Dam - Feb 25th

All up 19 attendees came along. We did trail works in 3 sections of the single track including new boardwalk, a little rocky section, some planting, some mulching and a bit of defining the trail. Joe Ward from Cycling Central did a bit of filming and interviewing... thank you Pauli and Nicole for being in front of the camera. you can see the Cycling Central article in the special broadcasts at http://www21.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral.

We had a yummy BBQ lunch, thank you CBD for sponsoring the BBQ and Charley for cooking the snags and bringing Mr Tooheys finest.. It poured as we ate, but it was great knowing that the tubestock that we had just put in were getting a good drink. Everyone who helped out received a gift as thanks for their hard work.

Royal National Park - Feb 25th

8 volunteers and a bob cat did a very satisfying amount of soil moving and trail building. They built some chicanes through a fast section to moderate rider speed and laid in some logs for run-off management. Leigh was happy with the work done and was impressed that the volunteers achieved more than she had planned. Again, the gifts were well received, especially the lube!
