🚵‍♂️Trail Re‑Opening: Climbing Ivy is Back! 🌿

After six years of closure following the devastating Cudlee Creek fires, the 1.3km single‑track climb Climbing Ivy has officially re‑opened!
This trail is one of the last remaining footprints of the original network - now re‑established, upgraded, and better than ever. Corners and switchbacks have been widened to accommodate today’s larger wheels, making for a smoother and more enjoyable climb.
⚠️ Safety note: Please take care on your first few laps - the surface still has loose soil and gravel until we get some rain to help it bed in.
A huge shoutout to Open Trails Australia for their outstanding work bringing this piece of Fox Creek history back to life. 🙌
See you out on the trails!

Their passion for accessibility, inclusion and rider independence shines through in everything they do - and we’re so proud to have them as part of the Fox Creek community.

Trails are for everyone, and thanks to Push Mobility, Grant Allen and Nay Junga, more riders can now experience the freedom, challenge and joy of hitting the dirt in our forests.
Great people doing truly important work.

🚵‍♂️🔥 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 – 𝐅𝐨𝐱 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 🔥🚵‍♀️
With forecast temperatures of 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝟒𝟓°𝐂, conditions across the Mount Lofty Ranges — including Fox Creek Bike Park — will be extremely hot and high risk tomorrow.

Forestry SA is 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭 due to the extreme heat.

🌡️ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
• Severe heat significantly increases the risk of heat exhaustion and dehydration
• Mechanical failures and medical incidents are harder to respond to in extreme conditions
• Fire risk is elevated, even without a Total Fire Ban
• Emergency access and response times may be impacted

🚫 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:
• 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐱 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰
• Save the trails — and your ride — for cooler, safer conditions
We know it’s frustrating to miss a ride, but sitting this one out helps keep 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, and 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 safe.
Thanks for backing smart decisions on extreme heat days 🤝🌲
