As a regular up there, I'm stoked it's resolved.
Its hard to tell sometimes but ive had riders warn me several times of branches lying in suspicious places on the trails that they were sure were intentionally placed to be harmful.
It's all old pine, so they seem to let go occasionally, with the winds and all.
I'm glad to not need to worry about evil surprises - those tracks are gnarly enough as it is!
I usually ride through Aro valley, but I've done a circuit of Mt Vic a few times.
Most of the MTB tracks are new tracks, so I'm not sure what everyone is moaning about.
...No? Most of the tracks on Mt Vic are really old.
Sure, they've built a bunch of new jump lines in the last 5 years, but the old ones are the good ones: Damien's, bomb hole, groms, V, park bench, TTS are all well over a decade old (or considerably more, especially Damien's which goes back to the mid-90s, allegedly)
