Update further below... excavators and lies
Well, it had to happen one day. The Aboriginals have finally gotten around to systematically removing trail features at Oxy (e.g. jumps and berms), with a crew of workers moving through with shovels and mattocks.
There's been a lot of hard work put into trying to resolve trail access issues, but ultimately the new MLALC CEO wasn't even prepared to speak with MTB representatives. Real bummer, given that under a previous CEO we were invited to prepare a MOU relating to formalizing of MTB trails across the whole valley (back in 2012).
This isn't the first time Oxy has been destroyed, but it's been a pretty good run lately. I'm sure some kids will probably start to re-build, but for me the real focus will be on getting the Belrose Bike Park project moving (it's pretty darn close).
Anyone interested in a history lesson, check the thread below. The development noted in that thread was blocked, with a 10 year moratorium on development. Oh - the 10 years just ended. What an amazing coincidence.....
