00:00 So with the proceeds of the grant we were fortunate to be able to redo the car park
00:04 so that there's a lot of car parking now for a lot of cars. We've got the toilet block which means
00:10 that there's a toilet here. We never had a toilet in the past so it made it friendly for the males
00:16 and females so it's a real bonus. Built quite a few kilometres of trail up the hill which are an
00:24 adaptive trail so it means that people of all abilities can ride and then we did up a fire road
00:31 so that people can come in and pick up their bikes and make life easy. Following the 2019 bushfires
00:38 the whole park was closed and it took over six months to reopen so we had to go through each
00:45 trail with a chainsaw and reopen the whole all the trees were falling down and then we had to
00:52 make sure they were safe so there was no falling timber that could because what happens they burn
00:57 out at the bottom and then fall over in the wind and the last thing you want to do is be hitting
01:02 the head with the trees so it was really important and then once you got through that you had to rake
01:08 all the trails so it was a huge job it took six months and it was only club members that were
01:14 actually allowed in doing it at the time and then forestry came through and checked the roads before
01:20 we were allowed to open. Yeah so then the floods so it was more erosion so it damaged a lot of the
01:26 trails because it was and washed away all our bridges so we had to go back in and rebuild all
01:32 our bridges so it was one thing after another it just doesn't seem to stop and now we get these
01:39 rain events which they're not so bad it just means that we have to close the park and stay off the
01:45 trails otherwise they get damaged. How big is a bike? 70 kilometers of trail so it's quite big
01:52 there's a lot of and we've got done it really well we've got five kilometer 10 15 20 and 30
02:01 kilometer loops now so anyone from anywhere can come in and go for a ride the longer the loop
02:07 the tougher it gets so it just gives people variety and they don't get lost because it's like spaghetti
02:14 in there everybody used to come we'd find people over the back riding around which way's home
02:19 seriously but now with these signs so you can see the trail signs so the 10 kilometer loop starts
02:26 over there to 30 and five and then we've got another kilometer loop over here so yep so
02:31 Tuesdays so eight o'clock there's a trail crew of about eight guys all retired come along and
02:39 work for half the day and then have a coffee and maintain the trails and then the club tries to
02:45 have a working day once a month as well so it's all voluntary the main fundraiser for the club is
02:50 a pbm hard rock six hour so it's roughly around 250 riders so and really popular with the local
02:59 community we we had over 70 riders from local so it was nice and then the rest were all from away
03:07 if anybody wants to join the manning great lake tip riders google the site and jump on and you can
03:14 join the club experience required we cater for everybody from beginners to
03:21 national champions
