Have to admit I’ve been slack no track crew news for a few months

 

Well it blew then it rained so that about summed up our track crew report for the last two months, what hadn’t got blown over got washed away

 

 

The boys got the Rotary Ride open in double quick time and added a new feature log tunnel at the same time. We still have one little job to do which is put in a new hand rail around the pumice bluffs. There’s now one hell tomo beside the track which we have fenced off at present Don’t fall in it

Rotary have been legends and helped us with funding the repairs and also have funded up grading the Eastern Bypass at Huka Falls This will mean a new alignment of the Rotary Ride end and the Eastern Bypass around the top of the buffs cutting out all the shared track bit and a new entry / exit point for the Rotary Ride right at Huka Falls

Work will be starting on the new track in the old paint ball area soon The Taupo MTB club found a few dollars to kick start the job and should go a fair way to getting the guts of the track formed. The Wairakei track committee have been in and marked it all out so it’s just a matter of doing it

 

Thanks to everybody who not only send in emails about the storm damage but also quite a few got off their backsides and grabbed a shovel and dealt to the smaller problems which was great. This meant we had most tracks open within a week

 

Cheers

Track Crew
