More information on what the GTA is about can be found in the
GTA handbook. The handbook contains details on Maintenance Days, History, Contacts and other important GTA details. Let us know if there is information you want to know about that is not included.
Trail Maps
Trail maps of legal local rides can be found in the

Please have a look around and register to the site. We have a lot more planned for here though, so keep checking back.
Upcoming advocacy events would normally appear here, but things are a little quiet at the moment and it's empty.

What no rides!?

Its looking like Glenrock will play host to another Bike Demo Day, this time the Scott and Avanti fleet on Sunday the 29th April.
We have been contacted by both the NPWS and Scott/Avanti reps on the make up of the day. They are keen to work with the GTA in hosting the event and are currently looking at which trails to use as they want to specify a short loop that can be ridden in less than perfect conditions.

There has been some discussion about this elsewhere already, but I wanted to try and get all the ideas in one place so I’ve started a dedicated thread.
Ideally the entire trail network should be of a higher, more sustainable standard, and we are aiming for this. Every trail upgrade we do is meant to improve that standard so that trails shed water and are at least rideable soon after the rain stops. But this will take time.

As you may have seen in the meeting list, I have planned a Maintenance day for Saturday 17th March starting at 9am.
Details can be found here: http://glenrocktrailalliance.com/node/34638
Please help spread the word on the build day.
As stated in the meeting invite, the works will be maintenance like in that we won't be doing major reconstruction, just the much needed trail cleanup after weeks of bad weather. We will be looking at de-bermong, re-scollaping and fixing drainage and ruts.

NPWS have just advised that they will be beginning major works on High Roller and BJ’s today (Feb 24th), initially carting material to a stockpile, and then creating machine access through High Roller.
It is intended that High Roller will remain open to allow access to Suess Land and Shaft, but plkease use extreme caution due to machine movements and works.
BJ’s will be closed once works begin there. Most likely in the next week. IT is intended to undertake major reconstruction of the top section of BJ's where the trail has been rapidly deteriorating.
