Ground Effect Grubber Fest




We're back to it at last! T3 has been neglected for way too long, but now it's all go again. Go, go go! Motivation was supplied by Ground Effect, in the form of a stylie cycling top as a spot prize. For those living in a bubble, Ground Effect support more track building projects around New Zealand than any other organisation. Yep, they are AWESOME! Lucky Carl was the winner of the top (see photo).
But everyone was just stoked to be making such good progress. That's the thing about difficult tracks, they don't take muck digging (not like Lazy Fern, the easy highway that seemed to take an eternity to build). Yep, T3 is ripping along. Another few sessions and it should be rideable all the way to the top of Trickle Falls. If you don't believe us, get up there with your bike and have a go at packing down... oops, I mean pedalling the track. It's a goer right up to the Skink, then you can walk up to the road, which is only 20 metres away. Go with a friend (it's always fun watching people crash, and T3 has lots of 'fun' spots).
The plan is to have a few Wednesday night pizza sessions on the track, so keep an eye on the makarapeak site. Oh, and the fine folk at the last track session were, Rob, Murray, Gareth, Ian, Dave, Carl, Andy, Don, Andrew and Jonathan. Thanks.
