After last weeks meeting I have been speaking to a few local trackbuilders who are pretty experienced in this sort of thing,Things are looking good,with lots of contacts and information being given to me, I expect you all will have seen the play doh tv video on the site where we made a mock up of the skills area,we are starting with a loop that will cater for all from novice to pro,and each line will progress from the smallest of jumps and bumps on line 1,then gradually build up all the way through to the pro line that will have big doubles, step ups and hips for me to crash on,work is very much in progress watch this space!

Calling all DH'ers or extra hands
Hello to all the gravity affected dudes.
This Sunday is the dig day at the woods. It starts at 10:00 then finishes before it gets dark and the wolves come out. It’s an excellent hangover cure and is cheaper than the gym.
We are going to be starting work on a few sections of Puppets, the new/old track that flanks 143. It’s going to be a lot of work and you may even get muddy! Don’t let that put you off because come summer it will be real fun to ride as ever. So while you are off your bikes, come and help make a track that you will be proud of when you are tearing it to pieces.
We also would love input into the start and end sections, so get those creative juices flowing!
I will hopefully see you there on Sunday. I will be present with my new wellies so please don’t laugh.
Cheers,
Neil
