Sunday saw us tackle another one of the T3 big wooden projects, The Swing Bridge of Doom, or as it turned out the Fun Wibbly Wobbly Swing Bridge.

After getting the two poles in the ground on Friday and dropping off all the pre-cut timber come Sunday it was just a matter of putting it all together like a big jigsaw puzzle.

How does it ride?

Well a little easier than we had hoped, but a lot of fun and certainly something you don’t get to do everyday on a mountain bike track.

We also planted 20 Rata trees in that area and another wee project finished, see other post.

Thanks to all those that showed up on the day, Tom, Will, Nigel, Jono, Dave, Jonathan, Rob, Edmond, Mark, and Jeff.

Also thanks to Jonty from Revolution Bikes for giving us a spot prize of a very nice WTB tyre, and for the boys at Mitre Mega, Upper Hutt for cutting all the wood to length.

See you at the next work party!!

The other project we finished on Sunday was putting armour down on a steep 18-19 degree slope.

We used green honeycomb things called grass stabilisers.

This is the first time we have used them in the park so it will be good to see how they ride.
