Looking to Have the DH Trail Open by next week - or soon after!?

By moggio - Posted on 16 April 2013

Speaking to council there are just a few more assessments and sign-offs that need to be done to be sure the DH trail meets all Commonwealth stipulations. They are desperately working at getting that done as soon as possible and expect it to be done by the end of this week or early next week.

BMCC will be keeping us in the loop because they are more than aware of the excitement and eagerness of riders to start riding the trail. So please hold off for just a few more days until this can all be done officially.

So watch this space or the facebook page.

At this stage council are working on getting a sign off from IMBA on the trail. This is due to the level of scrutiny that this project has been put under from its detractors and to meet the Commonwealth stipulations.

Last I heard was IMBA will be there checking on Friday. So still a little longer. Thanks to everyone for holding out and I know people like Kingy have been spreading the word of restraint.

I think the general consensus is that he shouldn't have. He was looking at it from the project management point of view but there are still some requirements that need to be sure to have been met wrt to the Commonwealth approval.

On Saturday I couldn't help thinking while with my rakehoe in hand I cut around 100m of steep trail in the bush and then set a few hectares of it alight at a HR burn that this DH trail may be being a little over analysed!!
