Trail maintenance and Pizza night thanks

Well, while some of you were tearing up the dance floor at WOMAD a few of us were stripping the trails of debris and grass in Melrose. Thanks to those that helped, in particular to Sam and Michael for putting in a huge effort on Sunday.

The crew managed to clear out "Edge Loop" and rediscover "Out the back" which I rode this morning and is super clear and fast just now!

Hugh swept, yes that's right swept "On a Bender" and I cleared the cobwebs this morning. The things we do to make our trails fast and fun!

Sunday night was the inaugural fundraiser night at the North Star where a few dedicated Southern Flinders Rough Riders donned the chefs hat and took to the kitchen in an effort to raise funds for our trails. It was a really fun night and I think it had a special atmosphere, but that could have been the beer tasting I was doing. There was also an open mic session going and Mike even brought his beloved Blues albums down to mix it for the faithful.

All in all we raised nearly $400 which is almost enough for a whipper snipper, so thanks to the North Star Hotel for organising a great night and to Kerri for making sure the kitchen never fell apart during our 40 pizza rush! The next night will be Sunday May 29...maybe earlier if we can wangle another one!?
