To elebrate this Benny is starting up a new shuttle service. Plush Shuttle service has it's inaugural event on March 20 at Long Gully, have a look at the attached flyer for more details.

Have they actually opened up the new track? I've seen a flyer saying that it's under construction. Great work anyways, pretty keen to check out the new additions!

There is a new track called "hardtail track" that is going atm. Super flowy track that spits you out in the direction of the first/original (circa 2005) track off camber grass turns. The track that is used on thursday nights is going, with a few changes after the road gap and im pretty sure benny and the crew will have the new under construction dh track finished.

I'm currently working on a video to showcase the new track. It's open, and as for shuttles this thursday.....yes! It's on!

Shuttles will be running monthly to start off, and more frequent as it gets popular. There are also weekend away trips in the pipeworks.

Finally got it done. Just a quick edit of the new track. It's a whole lot of fun, flowy with nothing too hard.

IMPORTANT INFO
PLEASE READ.......
Just got info from Benny regarding "insurance" and "day licences". Day licences will not be available for purchase on these days, you can still ride BUT it is highly reccomended that all riders have a current MTBA licence. Riders will be required to sign a waiver/release form before riding on the property.
****FULL FACE HELMETS ARE COMPULSARY****
It is also advised that you have ambulance cover.

Thanks to Ben and Co.

Awesome day today to everyone concerned.....My 42yo bones are aching in protest, but you can't wipe the smile off my face!

Great day, excellent turn around time for the shuttles, and FINALLY, someone who provides some food for riders, and great food at that!

Looking forward to the next one.
