Thursday, November 19, 2015. And so it begins. After a long hiatus, we've started building trail again. We've enlisted the help of anther young local MTB enthusiast,. Oliver has been up helping us and learning how to build trail. He's also keen on building his own trail on his property, hopefully he'll learn from my mistakes and not repeat them at his place. Oliver striking a pose beside the new trail. Here's the start of the alignment for the new trail. Before any trail work started. And so it begins.

Friday, August 3, 2012. We're away in Cambodia for a time, you can read more about that here. Http:/ help-cambodia.blogspot.com/. But while we're away we have a wonderful friend, Stephen Alldridge,. Steve, workin' with local wood. Who finds it hard to sit still and he has been doing awesome work on our trails, building track and building obstacles. Here's a couple pics of his work. Over a large log. Raised platform in the stringy bark forest. Sweet bit of track. See Saw OVER the fence!

MTB Nymboida: July 2013
http://mn-mtb.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Time for an update. not much has been happening on the trails, we've done a bit of maintenance, not that much was needed as mostly we use the IMBA Sustainable Trails deign philosophy, as while I like building, trail, maintenance is not that much fun. Build it properly the first time and maintenance is kept to a minimum. New Track (name to be decided by Toni). I have spent some time scouting out the new trail to be added to the southern section. Finally have it marked.

MTB Nymboida: March 2013
http://mn-mtb.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 30, 2013. Well, Steve has done a great job on starting the skills park. Currently there is currently a circuit allowing you to circle round, practicing lots of different MTB skills that can be used later on the trails. Overview - burning pile of branches in the middle for marshmallows on a cold night! Up and over the the chimmneys,. You can see why it;s called that when you look from the side! Then a right turn and over the log ride. We have bigger plans to eventually expand the area.

Clayton and his brother Sebastian both enjoy riding them so why not help us build new stuff? Few hands making lighter work 'n all. Clayton has been out several times, Sebastian the once so far. Clayton especially is coming along and getting stuck in, so a great big thank you to him. Clayton hard at it. As always, pictures speak louder than words. The photo's above...

MTB Nymboida: Social Ride
http://mn-mtb.blogspot.com/2013/11/social-ride.html
Sunday, November 17, 2013. Not as many showed up as rides past, presumably the storms in the area scared many away with Grafton and Coffs being hit hard by hail and rain. We only had 12mm and a little rain. The tracks were as good as we have ever seen them, the 100mm over the last 10 days or so has soaked into the once dry ground and left the tracks damp and wonderful to ride. Here's young Ryan Gilchrist catching some air coming downhill. Ryan, with Geoff (Dad) in hot pursuit. Enjoying the sweet trails.
