🚧 Signal Hill Access Road Works Update 🚧

Further surfacing work on the Signal Hill access road behind Logan Park High School is about to get underway.

📅 Work schedule:

Prep work: Thursday 4 June & Friday 5 June
Road sealing: Monday 8 June

🚗 Access to Signal Hill will remain available via Stop/Go traffic management, however riders and other users should expect some minor delays when travelling through the work area.

These improvements will provide a smoother and more durable access road for everyone using Signal Hill.

Thanks for your patience while the work is completed! 🙌

We’ve made the tricky decision to postpone Sunday’s Whare Flat Funduro. The rain radar leaves no doubt - it’d be more sliding than shredding out there.

All the same deets apply for next week. Thanks for understanding, and we’ll see you then for hopefully drier trails and better riding 🤘
