Another month has passed us by, and we’ve been busy as bees and the weather has been rather spring like.

| Foggy in Christchurch???? muhahahahahahaaaa |
The short version is that we have finished benching The Muur, which is a pleasant climbing track that will also be a fun downhill cutting out the need to slog up the drive (unless that’s what you are into.)
We also finished AliTrack, a kilometre long climbing track with a staggering 35 corners, hand-built by Ali.
We have also given Chicken Run between the two new tracks a tickle up too, the first in the 7 years since we have built it.
Both new tracks will be ready for this Summer – w00t!!
Here’s some stunning photos of The Muur and then I’l bore you with the longer version.

| Here’s the corner now, much better, just needs some love with a rock breaker! |

| The top of The Muur! |
Here are some photos of the freshly tickled up Chicken Run
So now the longer version.
The Muur
It’s cut and benched but no riding please, you are welcome to walk on it, the edges are fresh and we still need to take a scrub-bar down to clear the trail, we also need to get a rock breaker in to a couple of corners and generally let the trail bed down and season, it’s a stunner and I’m really pleased with both the speed and ease of which the trail was built.
AliTrack
We are progressively working down the track, tidying up a few traverses and finishing up the corners. This track is not to be ridden yet either please. We still need to take a scrub bar down on the trail corridor, but you are welcome to walk on it, stay off the berms, they need to sleep. The trail is coming along very nicely and hardening beautifully. Ali is working hard on drainage plans and it’s just amazing how good it feels to be in the gully – damn it’s a long track!
So what’s next?
We will be getting a digger in soonish, to finish the River Track, Ali has grand plans for a track to the ford at the 4WD Track from the middle of AliTrack and then another climbing track that may start in the Skills Area and pop up into Scollywood.
Well that’s us for August, we still got plenty to do and plenty of fun to be had. Come out and be part of it.
Happy Trails
