Trackcrew News - April 2011

 
Winter is in the air so life on the tracks is getting a bit quieter. We are looking for a few helpers to marshal the Moon ride in Rotoura on the 14th of May. Need a day and a night shift Day seems to get a bit more work fixing the tracks and night can be a bit quieter but both gets heaps of riding or talking, what ever turns your crank. You get your meals, flick you some petrol money and the money we receive goes towards track maintience
 
The new track is up and running in the old paint ball area nice easy flowing type of track to warm your legs up before heading further into the jungle I’m told some more tracks will be added in the future running off the main track
Kegresse has had a few corners opened out to make it flow better other wise things are just ticking along on the track scene
For those that are not aware the Te Totara Gully system is a Doc track and we are waiting for them to come and do the repairs after the last storm
The Day Nighter track has had some earth works alongside the track. The track is all good but remember it is private land so if you are riding around it please respect the land and the fact that the owners let the public use it abuse it and we will lose it
 
It’s the season for Wasps watch out and if you do see some along side tracks please give us a yell. Places to watch out for are the day Nighter track and W2K
 
Please keep sending in any tree reports etc they make a big difference
