The dirt was flying thick and fast at Awaba Mountain Bike Park this morning, as local mountain biker riders tested out the park's new pump track, Pump. Jump. Repeat.

I was pleased to join Hunter Mountain Bike Association members for the track's official opening today.

The sheer amount of time and effort HMBA volunteers put into maintaining, expanding and improving the park is absolutely astounding.

Pump. Jump .Repeat is a fantastic new space for riders of all ages to build skills, confidence and have fun

The pump track received funding from NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership program, and I would like to congratulate and thank everyone involved in bringing this project to life.
