New Track - The Latest

Benn (Club Chairman) updated BMXTalk today with the following post:

Just been down to the site. Had a good chat with Jordan from Bike track. The first straight jumps have been built up from the mass material, and these have started to be shaped. They are now putting all the drainage in today before they have more material tipped to start putting the 2nd,3rd and 4th straight jumps in. I think things will more pretty quick now.

Hardcore and surfacing is a couple of weeks away yet, but the track is starting to take shape. Start hill is 4 metres at its peak, and 3.4 metres from the gate to the floor. I had a look around the Club house a couple of weeks ago. Looking really good. A decent size Club room, Kitchen, and a separate office which will have a viewing window looking out to the track. As well as all that, its had male and female showers and toilets put in, plus a bike store, and first aid room. All the fencing has been put in. This a 2.4m anti climb fencing similar to what Manchester track has and most schools seem to have now.

Things are shaping up nicely. Finish date should be end of April for the whole facility. Don't forget as well as the flood lit track we also have an awesome skate park on site too. So it will be an awesome place for a day trip if you are into race, dirt and park. I have some pics to post up later.

Roll on the spring:-)
Benn
