Week two of construction at the Clarence Mountain Bike Park has just drawn to a close, and so far we are well ahead of schedule. Volunteer numbers have increased slightly, though are still well down on what they should be- particularly poorly represented have been cross-country riders. Email simon@dirtart.com.au for more information on volunteer days. So far the following has been completed:
- Around 2km of cross-country trails, including a mix of tight and technical, and wide open/high-speed trails.
- The green-grade beginner cross-country loop is all in, and is being groomed this week.
- The mountain-cross is in place and is being groomed and shaped this week.
- We have piled up all the dirt for the dirt jumps, and construction will begin there later in the week.
- Work has begun on the skills area and pump track, which will include a variety of drops, rock features, and other obstacles.
At this stage we are hoping the park construction will be finished by mid January 2009- around 1 month ahead of the original schedule. Stay tuned for more information of the opening day festivities. Ride Bellerive have kindly offered a $250 gift voucher as a volunteer spot prize, each volunteer will get one entry for every day they help, so get along for your chance to win this or one of many other prizes.
