Living Springs trail progress, July 2008...
Despite being muddy under foot we built another 140m of Zanes on the 21st, with a good team of 19 diggers. Making good progress and are very close to getting Zanes pushed right through to the Outdoor Camping Centre. Unfortunately we are taking a break for a while now with lambing about to start but will hopefully be back into the Pines in September and then back into Zanes in October once lambing is over.

Please note that we have been asked to close all tracks for riding during lambing. If you want to ride over there please wait till October as we need to respect the requests of the farmer in order to preserve our access to these trails.

If you're keen to lend a hand at any stage then call us on 322 7886, or email xc@paradise.net.nz for details. It's a great time to meet other local riders and to put something back into the mountainbiking scene. All tools and instruction provided. You can also bring along your bikes if you want to go for a ride. Dates of upcoming dig days are listed on our calendar page a few weeks beforehand. More info on what we have done so far at Living Springs is on our trailbuilding page. This entire project is completely reliant on volunteer labour so we'd love to have you there!

Lyttelton Port Company have granted us money for signage for the Living Springs Trails. This, along with the money raised from the hillclimb series donations, will get the trail network signage off to a good start. We will begin erecting permanent signage at the park over the coming months. Thanks to Lyttelton Port Company and all the riders who have donated during our series :)
