The Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails are a fantastic ride and to keep them to the standard expected, maintenance is required. Please note the following scheduled works.

Wild Mersey faithful,

Please be advised the trail maintenance fairies will be busy over the next couple of months completing some major maintenance on our Warrawee Trails. First cab off the rank will be the ever-popular High Voltage which, for the safety of all, will be closed from Tuesday, 14th May for a period of approximately 4 weeks, depending on the settling-in period. Work will include repairing berms and jumps, fixing drainage issues, removing braking bumps, and general trail grooming for an overall smoother ride when complete.

We will advise of other trail works closer to the works commencing. In the meantime, there are still plenty of other trails in the area to keep you shredding.

Thank you for your understanding.
