      Track has been significantly changed by the maintenance works in June 2024. The rock garden is retained but the mid section - with some challenging technical corners - has been buried under a few tonnes of dirt and sculpted into fast, easy berms.

      I'm pretty supportive of trackcare and I'm really grateful for the great work they've done in developing new trails and formalising some old friends. This was a bitter pill to swallow though. There are plenty of machine built flow trails around now - which is great - so there's no reason for not keeping the harder tracks technical.
