Note
Informal track construction is quite topical in the club at the moment. Here is what is going on on one of our mapped terrains. Not all are mapped yet, and I keep finding more. I think the rule is, if you have a big enough lobby group you can get away with anything.
The club would never be given a permit for an MTBO event in this area (or any Parks Vic forest around Bendigo) because Parks Vic sees this as setting a legal precedent for the use of these tracks. Fair enough. Using the tracks would be condoning vandalism by a group that likes to think of itself as having sound environmental credentials.But its no use worrying about a precedent unless you actually enforce the regulations. I give it another two years and this whole area will be covered in MTB tracks.
I wonder what would happen if someone proposed that the orienteering community will not use illegal tracks in their events? ... That would really sort out where our ethics are situated.

Got half way round the second lap of Crusoe when the left calf called it quits. The same thing happened at Parkrun at the same distance. I made the mistake of keeping running then. Not today. Its only three weeks to the NZ trip. My fitness goals have morphed from "being fit" to "being capable of finishing".
