Saturday & Sunday 18th & 19th November – The Big Dig weekend at QE Country Park!
This Big Dig Weekend is to finish the resurfacing of a key section of the blue mountain bike trail. Over the past 12 months volunteers have focused on clearing soil deposits caused by rain and erosion, digging drainage ditches, filling holes and bumps caused by braking, and reconstructing trail features and berms. The aim of the Big Dig weekend is to resurface and compact the repaired and reconditioned trail with limestone aggregate.
