Vegetation has been cut back in the young-ish pines. The improved sight lines will assist quicker riders and those out night riding.
Some removal of braking bumps and re-establishing berms & flow has been undertaken where Taura transitions across String Rd. Rider feedback suggests Taura is still riding fast - enjoy!
