Bike Park is OPEN!
All the features and takeoffs are the same. We patched up the sandpits and washouts so now it's smooth, fast and grippy. Railing berm 1 no brakes is fun.
Thanks to @surfcoastshire for getting it done and Bush 2 Beach Plumbing & Excavation for their great job on the excavators. Nice to have an MTB rider on the tools.
Little kids might be tempted to play with the cracking clay surfaces and make them crumble. Please keep them off the track and its features (unless they're riding). Things will settle in once it rains.
Let's go 🤘🏻🤘🏻
DIG SESSION! Bike Park is getting a facelift. If you're free Wednesday arvo 11 March between 3:30-6:30 come grab a shovel and help with the finishing touches. Meet the volunteers and ask about joining us.
CLOSED! The bike park is closed for a few days while @surfcoastshire undertakes some resurfacing of the track to repair the summer damage. We'll aim to have it ready by the weekend and post here when it is.
Another busy Saturday! Great to see everyone from little kids pretending they're on a rollercoaster to core riders whipping the 20-ft tabletops.
The track has gotten sandy in places due to high summer usage and low rain. We've requested a touch-up from @surfcoastshire . Until then, watch out for the sand pits. 👀
On that note, we (the volunteers) are happy to announce that we are now the "Friends Of Anglesea Bike Park". This means that we can request more council assistance, whereas before we had to do everything ourselves (including fundraising to pay for it). Looking forward to working together to keep this iconic asset running nicely. Drop us a line if you'd like to join us. 🤜🏻🤛🏻 ⛏️
Busy at the bike park! It's great to see some new faces, bikes and riding styles as the holiday crowds arrive. The track is running well and has something for all abilities, including those who go fast and big. To stay safe:
1. Don't walk or stand on the tracks - riders come around corners fast!
2. Ride within your abilities
3. Parents must supervise their kids. This is NOT a playground.
Have fun and see you on the trails. 🤜🏻🤛🏻 🤘🏻
LOST & FOUND... A couple of wooden ramps have been left at the bike park. Thanks, but they are a bit small for mountain bikes. Might work for BMX. Feel free to come and take these before they are disposed of.
There's also a road bike... Doesn't go so well on the track....
The bike park has become a mud pit due to the rain. Riding would be dangerous and damaging to the track. No riding today please. But you can bring a shovel and fix imperfections.
The bike park is closed until further notice. It is very muddy and slippery with the 50 mm of rain we've just had. Riding will cause damage to the trails. See you when the sun shines again....
Roll over the road to the Anglesea Primary School Village Fair from 3 - 7:30 pm this arvo. Market stalls, food, drinks, rides and entertainment. All proceeds go to helping the school. @angleseapsvillagefair
