Managed half hour of riding today before the rain cae down.

Its getting very shabby and is in desperate need of work. Its by no means local to me, but having ridden it a few times, I feel I should lend a spade.

The dirt jumps wont ride at all well if they dont get worked on over the winter.

Any of you guys up for a dig day? It doesnt need masses.....just re-lipping, ruts removing etc.

If 4-5 people are game Ill head down. Its not worth the hour and a bit drive if Im on my own as hardly anything will get done!

Ill chuck a thing on PB now.

I could get a group of atleast 4 of us down, just the spade problem as riding with full size ones would be awkward all the way

supose we could get on with litter picking or something worse way

It'll have to be after Xmas to give the ground time to properly soak up some water and on a Sat, so people wont have issues with trains.
