Clarence Mountain Bike Park- week 4 update


Time flies when you are having fun, and the last four weeks have certainly flown during construction of the Clarence Mountain Bike Park. The dirt jump area is now in place, and will be watered, shaped, and top-coated early in the new year. There are countless line choices for all rider abilities, with lots of berms, hip jumps, rollers, and big transfer lines.

The cross-country course is getting nearer to completion, with only a few hundred metres of trail left to build. This trail has been carefully designed to be as fun as possible, with big rolling dips, groomed single-track, small rock features, and mellow climbs.

The mountain-cross track is starting to shape up, and works will continue in the new year. Expect a track with loads of line variation, everything from tight and technical through to big bold gap lines.

Work on the downhill trail, pump-track, and dual slalom will begin in the new year.

An launch day for the park is currently being organised, most likely in early February 2009.

A big thank you to all the volunteers so far. We hope to see some fresh volunteer faces in the new year. For more information on volunteer days, or the park project itself contact simon@dirtart.com.au
