I will meet with the FC up there asap and see whats on offer for parking and extending our runs. Will be back soon. Meanwhile speak to your friends and lets get enough coming forward to make it happen. If nothing else... we core locals who may cough up will have saved the day! Its short there but long enough for training its just right to walk back up. For races we will need atleast 50 secs. One step at a time eh. Lets get the FC sorted and go from there.
if you want the Litter problem solved then talk to the little kiddy's on Dirt jump bikes and a norco with 66's, there a group of about 7 under 15 Years, ive told them about the situation ages back..
i dont want to blame the litter on them but they are the Guys who are down there everyday riding and Taking the mick!
again...the Parking can ne resolved by making a large parking space using the Bottom Gate a Car Park Entrance.
the mention of races is a bit of a turn off for the FC aswell, it will be much easier for you to juts propose getting the place sorted at least for now. You also have to remember building will have to be carried out to IMBA standards (not too difficult) and often on insured dig days (more difficult)
Not trying to put you off at all but it will be hard and long enough to get anything started without considering extending courses witha view to holding races.
starting sound like a plan. when I have enough of us to pay approx 10 quid and cover costs we can go get the place sorted cos we'll know its staying put. Sure others will come along and ride without paying and leave litter but this is too easy to pass up for a top practise spot to become legal. let me know if you want your name in and I'll be in touch when the next step is to be taken.
Chris the problem is the tracks are like 20/30 secs long, so races are very difficult.
20/30 seconds long? Is it not worth fiding somewhere that has potential for atleast a minute and the guys who are showing interest here all teaming tgether to build something half decent?
i will put a bin up there soon if you think its a good idea and the people who are littering up there are this group of dirtjumpers who are 14-15 years old if you see them tell them to pick it all up and take it home. it worked for me last time
Can't say I did Roo but you were hustling along! It was a cracking day up the hill eh. (I don't think any one spilled any claret to speak of). I have now got 28 people keen to be a part of leasing the land etc. so I will now scan the FC for surprises and hiccups. Thanks guys (and girl) I'll be back.
