Building it wasn’t that easy either, digging post holes in bedrock is never fun, thanks Stu and Carl, how are the hands today? makara places blogs cycling sport Sun, 01 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2009/02/small-but-dedicated-crew-got-stuck-into.html T3 Track Blog 2009-02-01T00:00:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2009/01/we-are-at-it-again-this-is-beginning-of.html We are at it again!

Go, go go! Motivation was supplied by Ground Effect, in the form of a stylie cycling top as a spot prize. Lucky Carl was the winner of the top (see photo). But everyone was just stoked to be making such good progress. That's the thing about difficult tracks, they don't take muck digging (not like Lazy Fern, the easy highway that seemed to take an eternity to build). Yep, T3 is ripping along. Another few sessions and it should be rideable all the way to the top of Trickle Falls. makara places blogs cycling sport Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2008/01/ground-effect-grubber-fest.html T3 Track Blog 2008-01-14T00:00:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/people-having-fun-on-t3.html Between all the hard work, Jeff and Hugh had the chance to ride some of the good work they had done. Harvey Blakely and a few mates came through T3 around lunchtime and after some encouragement he gave “old skinky” a crack, good on ya Harvey! makara places blogs cycling sport Mon, 28 May 2007 01:17:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/people-having-fun-on-t3.html T3 Track Blog 2007-05-28T01:17:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/working-men.html While all the noise of the kango was going there was some good old benching and gravelling going on in between so that we can ride to each obstacle, makes sense really. Rob and Will showing how it's done. makara places blogs cycling sport Mon, 28 May 2007 01:14:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/working-men.html T3 Track Blog 2007-05-28T01:14:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/crash-test-dummy.html We decided to give people a choice at the first rock out-crop of going high or low, as the high line has quite a drop and takes full commitment to clean. As Hugh demonstrates in these photos, a tumble from the low line is not life threatening but still a good challenge. makara places blogs cycling sport Mon, 28 May 2007 01:10:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/crash-test-dummy.html T3 Track Blog 2007-05-28T01:10:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/ratchet-canyon.html This tricky little number required the most amount of Kango time, as you can see from the before shots. makara places blogs cycling sport Mon, 28 May 2007 01:04:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/ratchet-canyon.html T3 Track Blog 2007-05-28T01:04:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/twister.html We finished the boardwalk part of the twister a couple of weeks ago on a beautiful autumn afternoon, which turned into evening by the time we were done. We knew this corner was going to be tight, but after 1 hour of kango action and a couple of test rides we came to the conclusion that this corner is very very tight, so after another hour on the kango we were just able to sneak around. makara places blogs cycling sport Mon, 28 May 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/twister.html T3 Track Blog 2007-05-28T00:00:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/boardwalk-to-nowhere.html This is the next piece to the T3 puzzle. makara places blogs cycling sport Tue, 01 May 2007 22:04:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/05/boardwalk-to-nowhere.html T3 Track Blog 2007-05-01T22:04:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/04/big-skink-finished-today.html The skink is basking in the sun with its new treads fitting well. makara places blogs cycling sport Thu, 19 Apr 2007 09:38:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/04/big-skink-finished-today.html T3 Track Blog 2007-04-19T09:38:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/02/its-alivealive.html At last the weather was perfect for a work party up on T3 and a dozen keen volunteers made plenty of progress on and around the Skinks Back. makara places blogs cycling sport Tue, 06 Feb 2007 07:32:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/02/its-alivealive.html T3 Track Blog 2007-02-06T07:32:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/02/digging-holes-for-poles.html A quick session on T3 to cement the posts in ready for the work party on The Skinks Back in the middle of October 2006. Hard work getting all the timber down to the site but thanks to Stu from the Council not as hard as it could have been. That work party was canceled due to weather and it was not until Feburary 2007 that we got back to make a start on the critter. makara places blogs cycling sport Tue, 06 Feb 2007 07:05:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2007/02/digging-holes-for-poles.html T3 Track Blog 2007-02-06T07:05:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/10/s3skink-site-survey.html Giant Skinks require careful consideration. makara places blogs cycling sport Sun, 08 Oct 2006 08:22:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/10/s3skink-site-survey.html T3 Track Blog 2006-10-08T08:22:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/10/diggers-in-mist.html This is the lastest section of T3 to be built. makara places blogs cycling sport Sun, 01 Oct 2006 06:30:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/10/diggers-in-mist.html T3 Track Blog 2006-10-01T06:30:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/09/rocky-out-crops.html These pictures are of 2 rocky out crops on the track, they have been ridden both ways so are deemed to be finished. As you can see by the before and after photos a lot of earth and rock has been moved to make them just right. These two sections were like big jigsaws puzzle to design, trying to fit in the nice natural rock features and make it tricky at the same time. art design business makara places blogs cycling sport Fri, 29 Sep 2006 15:22:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/09/rocky-out-crops.html T3 Track Blog 2006-09-29T15:22:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/09/skinks-back.html This is the next feature to be built on T3, The Skinks Back. makara places blogs cycling sport Thu, 28 Sep 2006 20:32:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/09/skinks-back.html T3 Track Blog 2006-09-28T20:32:00Z http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/09/design-map-and-info.html The track has already been started and about 100mtrs is rideable from the Vertigo end up, but as you will be able to see by the design map it is by no means finished, there are several features to be put along this part of the track, and a whole heap more along the rest of it. art design business makara places blogs cycling sport Thu, 28 Sep 2006 06:30:00 GMT http://t3track.blogspot.com/2006/09/design-map-and-info.html T3 Track Blog 2006-09-28T06:30:00Z
