3 hours

I'll be there, no matter what the weather.
Ride Database Entry: 
Rydal
Meeting Point: 

The main rd in has been dusty as all get up so in an effort to keep on the good side of the locals it might be best to come in via the showground.

From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)

Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park

Having a bit of a dig day to do a bit more work on The diggings and Snake Trails

I'll be heading out around 2 but if you can get there earlier or later go for it. We'll be up the far end so will drive up and park along side the area where we will working.

Got a fair bit done today. Big thanks again to Richard for some solid effort helped by myself Phil Mac and Dug (Possibly someone else I missed?)
Snake Trails could do with a little more raking but is now ridable. As is the run out to the digs.

Where the single trail comes out ont o the far end of the fire trail if you turn left instead of right and go down 100m you'll see the start of the digs to the right of the first water bar.

You can follow this through the first dig and out to the second or hang a sharp left about 100m in to hook up with Snake Trails.
For the next club run we might run up the fire trail and cut a short section in to come back along the digs and up Snake Trails as per the picture to start getting it bedded in.

This section is now completely rideable. as I said it could do with a bit more of a rake but mostly just needs people riding it
