Castle Hill Trails Alliance News

On January 15th a meeting was held by Castle Hill Trails Alliance to plan for 2017.

Castle Hill Trails Alliance (CHTA) is supported by Ipswich Offroad Cyclists to provide an incorporated entity to pursue grants to assist with trail development at Castle Hill.

The main thing at this point is we have set monthly trail care days until July.

The February trailcare is this coming Saturday from 7am to do final course prep for Sundays Wild West Series race.

Beginning in March they are all on the first Saturday afternoon of the month from 2.30pm to 5.30pm
