Project Rameka Update
Now that daylight saving has arrived, Wednesday Working Bees are starting again at Project Rameka, and will continue throughout the summer. If you can make it, start time is around 5.30pm each Weds (weather permitting) and work will go on until dark or until you've had enough. Tools are on site so you could ride up and enjoy the ride down too when you're done. Work will be starting at the lower end of the track so it's easy to find. It's been good to see a bunch of Nelson riders go through the last couple of Saturdays while we've been up there, great to see the track being used. If you want any more info, check with Martin.
My new drop
These are just a few pictures of the new jump I made this weekend. Everybody should come out and give it a go.
Its spring and my downhill track up East Takaka is dry and ready to go. If you would like to do shuttles on it give me a call on 5258707 or 0277395027. I need to get permission from Jim Bennet for you to use the access track.. Its pretty steep so its probably an advanced level track.
CLUB GIRLS' RIDE - SUNDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER
We held our 
second club Girl's Ride on Sunday with an awesome ride up to Pigeon Saddle and down the Gibbs Hill track to Wainui, and of course finishing at Totally Roasted. An awesome turn out with Nic, Kerry, Annie, Frankie and 
Mandy. The weather was stunning and an awesome time had by all.

The aim of our Monthly Club 'Girls Rides' is to get more girls 
out on their bikes and enjoying club rides without the pressure of having to 'keep up'. Over summer we will be holding the rides on a weekday evening and will be doing more 'entry level' rides as well as the more challenging ones to try and cater for everyone!

Project Rameka Working Bees
Big week coming up at Project Rameka. The main focus will be the planting of 1,000 native trees/shrubs, with working bees for that on Friday 28th (some school students taking part in an Enviro Schools initiative), then on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th. If you can come and help on any of those days, that would be great. Alternatively, you might like to give a hand to some more track work on Wednesday 27th. If you haven't been up to the Project lately (or at all!) you may be pleasantly surprised to see how much track is already rideable. There is even a rough link out to the Rameka Road now, hooking up about half-way between the Project Rameka entrance and the ford. That means you can have a cruise down the 2km or so of track already built, then cut back out to the road without back-tracking, unless of course you want to... More track building ahead over the coming summer. It's just getting better and better!
