The track is designed as a community asset and has been developed in conjunction with the local Mountain Bike Club. The track is marked using nationally recognised signage and guidance and Mr Olsen says he hopes it will become a regular ride for local enthusiasts.
Mr Olsen acknowledged the contribution made by local businesses such as Brackens and Roger Gilchrist Building Services and service groups who participated such as Leos. He also thanked the Ministry of Primary Industries who supplied 5000 trees from the Billion Tree Project for the next phase of the Service Hill Development, the North Otago Tree Planting Society, KSouth Oamaru, and the Waitaki District Council.
Mr Olsen thanked Jimmy McGeown for spearheading this project, the Foundation for its support, and the staff at St Kevin’s who have contributed, Aidan Haig, Kerry Ryan, Ken McCallum, Allan Grant, Regan George, Sarah Clapperton and Russell Dixon.
