Grinder	May 22, 2025 @ 4:24pm 16 hours	Leaf blown full trail, cut back ferns l, trailing running amazing!
Katore Road	May 20, 2025 @ 2:40pm 3 days
Challenge DH	May 15, 2025 @ 8:49pm May 15, 2025	Adaptor back from 5 months off injured, took a mate up to help do the hard stuff. Dug out drains, cleared away some riffraff hanging on the trail. Nice to see someone had blown the top half, and that the trail is still lookin good after being neglected for the summer.
Lion Trail	May 14, 2025 @ 12:58am May 14, 2025	Been awhile. Raked a huge amount of debris (Ferns, Bark, sticks). Only went to early exit as that took more time than I thought. Cleared all drains.... delighted NO MUD considering weather since Easter !! Fair bit of Silt in places. .. will attack that next time. 6 riders through ... all happy !!!! Photo of cleared track
Be Rude Not To	May 13, 2025 @ 8:13am May 13, 2025	Riding well. There's a punga down a bit before the turn off to Lion Trail. You can ride over it and people have, but it's a bit more than a grade 3 should have. It's quite large, so it needs a chainsaw or someone strong to move it.
