Headed out this arvo on the single speed rig to blow out the travel cob webs. Decided to hit the local single track. Now be it from any type of world cup like circut but it is fun to ride. Eastlink runs beneath my local single track and at time has shortened some of these fun little trails.
Now, part of Eastlink contract is to build a bike path....(I'm all for it, but do it smartly). Building the path is now underway and is chewing into the trail at a phenomal rate. I was suprised to see how much as been done in the last 3 weeks. The thing is they are cutting the trail with a bloody bull doser and grader. I thought the whole point of the Eastlink tunnel was to protect the Mullum Mullum valley from destruction!...... The other thing is rather than just use the already cut fire trail the path now is being cut in new areas including 3-4 bridges that run from oneside of the creek to the other......madness!
