Track Development<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the previous Sunday, Jeremy Paterson GWRC had explored the Danzig forest with Tyrone, Matt, Craig, Ian, Ryan?<\/p>\n

Tyrone reported that Jeremy was very obliging and keen for us to undertake new track development but firstly we had to be sure we were maintaining existing trails.\u00c2\u00a0 Tyrone said we were up to date.<\/p>\n

Jeremy wants the part of Danzig Track near the bottom that crosses the 4WD\u00c2\u00a0road blocked off so that riders stay west or east of the 4WD without crossing it.\u00c2\u00a0 Our 5 year plan below addresses
\nthis.\u00c2\u00a0 Danzig should be made uphill only, so we need to build another easy descending track.<\/p>\n

After some discussion we agreed on the following track development plans in this order of priority<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bottom of Last Sun DH should continue to the bottom instead of merging with Big Weta.\u00c2\u00a0 It will come thru the fence at the bottom so that the dangerous intersection at the bottom will be made safer.\u00c2\u00a0 Working Bee Sun 9am 17th<\/sup> Apr.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Tidy up Big Weta Bypass<\/li>\n
  3. Choppers needs a new entry at the top and the design must change to improve the flow.\u00c2\u00a0 On the top half extend corners to the east and build berms and drops.\u00c2\u00a0 Long straights that go into sharp corners must be avoided because they lead to braking ruts.\u00c2\u00a0 Ian thought we could make Choppers 25% longer.<\/li>\n
  4. New track from the Danzig hairpin before it crosses the 4WD\u00c2\u00a0near the bottom, climbing to the Green Shed staying on the left of the 4WD.\u00c2\u00a0 Ian said we must not make it steep so maximum length will be required.<\/li>\n
  5. New family track from the Woolshed on the south side down thru the bush following the creek to the bottom of Middle Ridge, then\u00c2\u00a0climbing to the right and then an anticlockwise loop towards the Belmont Trig climb and back the the bottom of Middle Ridge.\u00c2\u00a0 The return leg to the Woolshed exists so this creates a Family Loop.<\/li>\n
  6. New DH track called Ruru from Old Coach Rd down the west side of Danzig to join into The Slide near the Green Shed.\u00c2\u00a0 It currently partly exists.<\/li>\n
  7. Pump Track to be built near the bottom of Middle Ridge.\u00c2\u00a0 Material is expected to be free.<\/li>\n
  8. New link track from the Hill Rd car park across the farm to Old Coach Rd.\u00c2\u00a0 It is about 2km long and would need to be a GWRC project.<\/li>\n
  9. New track from bottom of Big Weta up to Danzig.\u00c2\u00a0 Tyrone said this would be very difficult to build.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    General Business<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Craig will discuss the litter issue with Jeff Henry just off Big Weta.<\/p>\n

    Working Bees scheduled every 2 weeks after the first one on 17th<\/sup> Apr.<\/p>\n

    We will officially review track development progress with the Ranger every 6 months.<\/p>\n

    We will be available to help in BRP\u00c2\u00a0at other working bees such as tree planting etc with FOBRP.<\/p>\n

    Craig listed our temporary signage requirements in the Danzig Forest and the Grading.\u00c2\u00a0 Nicole will print track names, grade and BAMBA\u00c2\u00a0logo on corflut and advise cost.\u00c2\u00a0 We need stakes to install them.<\/p>\n

    MOU and next meeting<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Could Jeremy please include the 9 items above in the MOU and circulate the document before our next meeting on 3rd<\/sup> May 7:30pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n
