But i urge you all to go out and get a mtb so you can experience the wonders the bush/outback/dirt/wilderness (whatever you want to call it) has to offer.

Maintenance is done by volunteers. If you're looking for a cross-training core strength workout, nothing beats wielding a shovel and partaking of some trail maintenance. Also a great way to meet good riders and new riding buddies.

Yes. That's right. There is no OMV trail fairy. So we need a couple of hours of your time if you are keen to help us maintain this great trail. If you have done this before, you'd know it is a great feeling to ride a trail you personally have had a hand in carving a berm or laying down rock armouring or trimming back plant growth.
Come join us to do some modifications and maintenance to the South Side trail. There are a few sections requiring stone work to stabilise the surface and drainage improvements. It starts at 2pm and runs until 6pm but come along at anytime and see the site Co-ordinator. Any contributions of time are appreciated.
Next Trail Maintenance Day at OMV
Sat 6th April • 2pm - 6pm (weather permitting)
If you have a decent sack/furniture trolley with biggish blow up wheels then bring that along to cart rock. Bring boots (steel caps ideal) and gloves plus don't forget a hat, sunscreen and plenty of water.
Please make a note in your calendar: future maintenance days will be the first weekend of the month (weather permitting)
Come and introduce yourself to Campbell, Noel, Craig, Winco, Adrian, Adam, Bill and Alex.

Have been playing with my camera lately, still a massive newb but getting there. Got a chestmount strap in the last couple of weeks so tried it out yesterday on the oaks single track section, not bad, just need to adjust the angle a bit and change the FOV to the wider option i think.

hmm, was thinking of a bit of mtbing on sunday, if it doesnt rain tomorrow and no rain sunday then could be in for a ride.trailgumby wrote:What are you doing Sunday? A mate and I and maybe some hangers on are doing an Oaks up-and-back Sunday morning. Local word is trail conditions are good despite the rain we've been having on the coast.

PM me if interested.

Local reports say no rain today and windy (cold) conditions. A few puddles but otherwise ... hero dirt.
