Hey BCG members, friends and Beechworth MTB Park u

Hey BCG members, friends and Beechworth MTB Park users.
Many of you are likely familiar with the Trailforks and Strava apps. But did you know that you can synchronize your Strava log with Trailforks Ridelog? You might be wondering why BCG are promoting these apps. The data collected on Trailforks is really important source of ride information that can be used by the club to demonstrate usage of the park/trails and can be used for advocacy and grant submissions (see below example of usage data). We need your help to more accurately reflect the actual usage of our trails. See the link below to read more about how to link Strava to Trailforks - we hope you can support the club in this.

UPDATE: tree cleared. Warning - tree down across Need Pizza trail. BCG will clear track this afternoon.

We have reshaped the takeoffs on Don’t be a Hero

We have reshaped the takeoffs on Don’t be a Hero so make sure you check them out before launching next time. Thanks to Mike for his work!👍🥵💪.
Our next priority is to tidy up the berms on Snakes 🐍 that are a bit rutted and washing out. The trails dry out really fast at the moment so timing our work is difficult and we are trying to do work immediately after rain. Drop us a line at trailsbcg@gmail.com if you want to discuss or help with trail maintenance.
Cheers

After the good rain overnight the Don’t be a Her

After the good rain overnight the Don’t be a Hero jumps will be closed this morning for reshaping.

Late call for a spring clean at the MTB Park this afternoon. We need to cut back some of the spring growth that is hanging over the trails. Also need to wippersnip the grass to keep hitchhikers out of our socks.
From 5 pm today, bring wippersnippers, hand saws or secateurs.

Hi all
If someone has a small chainsaw and time, there’s a tree down on creekside (closer to Rusty Stuff). Let us know if you can sort it.

There has been a lot falling lately from trees to small sticks so be careful when riding.
