Blores Hill Track Maintenance Day
On Sunday, July 12th we will be holding a trail maintenance day at Blores Hill. Blores has been getting a lot of use over the past 12 months from both race and recreational riding and is starting to show signs of wear and tear.
If you have ridden Blores Hill then this is a good opportunity for you to put back in to help maintain the quality of the trails out there. Big Max has done an excellent job up to this point, but it is getting beyond the point of one person being able to fix small issues here and there. He has developed a list of jobs to be done from cleaning off fallen branches to repairing trail damage.
