Rydal working bee

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

-33.476506,150.037085

Kinda late notice but I'm heading out the track tomorrow to do a bit of work on the trail.

I'll be doing a bit of trail armouring and if I get time some drainage work on those couple of corners that have been holding water lately.

I'm heading out around 10 and will be starting on the steep bit near where the dump run comes out and crosses the road.

If people have time to help out it would be appreciated.
I know some can't make Saturdays and there was talk about guys heading out Sunday just to rake the trail before the 3hr next weekend.

Have you ever helped maintain the tracks you ride on? Here's a chance to help improve the tracks at Yellomundee Regional Park in conjunction with WSMTB Club. Saturday 25 May from 8.30am, followed by a BBQ lunch (by WSMTB).

We will be doing erosion control work to make the tacks more sustainable - so bring shovels, wheelbarrows, etc - and a ute or two would be great! Wear trousers and boots.

All welcome. Keep an eye on the WSMTB Facebook page for any last minute updates.

Do you ride at Yellomundee? Then please help maintain and improve the mtb tracks there by helping out at one of WSMTB's track maintenance mornings. All very welcome! If every mtb rider helped somewhere at least once per year, then Sydney's tracks would be superb.

At our last effort on 6 April, a steep drop with rotting wooden pallets was hardened using rock facing. This helps make the tracks more sustainable. Edges were also cut back, etc.

2. Rip up the flooring

3. Paint and seal it

4. Rebuild

As simple as it sounds we will need some help. We hope to have helpers on the following days
