Trails



​

 Trevallyn, Kate Reed and Hollybank  MTB  trails are maintained by volunteer work. 

Please consider   coming along to a working bee to help maintain the trails,  new volunteers are  very welcome and help lighten the load  for our longer term volunteers.  If you can't volunteer you can still support the trails by donating using the link button below. 

The LMBC co-ordinates volunteer working bees with the permission of the land managers.
These working bees help keep the trails in a ridable and sustainable condition for the enjoyment of all users. 

No trail work experience is required,  volunteers are instructed and supported to do tasks that include raking, trimming trail edges, clearing drainage and shovelling etc.  Work bees   focus on being inclusive and sharing this rewarding task with people who have a common interest.   Casual format, only commit to  times that suit you, no pressure. 

Volunteers do NOT need to be LMBC members, but you  ARE required to   register online as an NRE TAS volunteer  for personal work cover insurance before attending working bees. Youth volunteers must also register and need to be accompanied by a legal guardian or parent. (Scroll down for registration  information and link)

Often LMBC will supply a beverage or two while workers reflect on their achievements :) 

Working bees are advertised on the LMBC Facebook page and Instagram and via the email list below.

Adopt a Trail
The trails are in prime condition thanks to our "Adopt a Trail" volunteers. If you see the "Trail Maintenance in Progress" signs out on the trails please slow down and say hi & thanks!
If you find a tree across a trail take a screen shot of the trail on a map (eg Trailforks) and mark an X where the tree is. This will help us try and get the trees cleared quicker!​
Cheers,
The LMBC trails crew
Remember
After periods of heavy rain please avoid riding the mtb tracks for a few days to allow for them to dry out and avoid further damage and closures.
