Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 16, 2012 Share Hi all! We are hosting an XC specific build day on 27th October! What does this mean? Well, it's self explanatory, really. We will be working on the sections of the mountain that are considered to be "Cross Country" in style, in order to get them up to spec. The actual site shall be decided on in the next week, as it depends on current levels of erosion and the status of the trails themselves. It is safe to assume, however, that the sections we will be working on are: Boomslang (ruins) - Filling in erosion and adding a few featuresBoulders - Maybe, although there's not much that is needed thereFaerie Garden More may be worked on depending on numbers and how much we get done on the day. Time? 1pm at the gate, as per the normal build day times. What do we need? Cross country riders (and others, it doesn't matter who you are as long as you arrive) but XC riders who use the trails and want to put back in, and have an input on how the trails are designed / maintained. What do you need to bring? Spades. Bush Saw. Axe. If you have a hoe, bring her along as well. The more tools the better. Why do we want you? Well, seeing as we will be working on the Cross Country trails, we want cross country riders to pull in and build. If you're not an "XC" rider and want to come along anyway, SCHWEEET! But seeing as this is an XC build, on XC trails, we thought that XC riders should be there to put back in. So - MTBSurfer and all others, are you in!?

(Deon) Posted October 16, 2012 Share Cool post cap! I'm in.. OM, report your findings, we can reach concensus from the others where they would like to work based on what you see. I do have one suggestion, Puffadder needs a whole new trail, preferably one that switches for a good climb. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast your vote on the trail needing the most loving!It's gonna rain this week so hopefully it will still be a little damp next weekend. If we work on puff adder we should try extend it a bit. maybe more switchbacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'll be there and bring at least one extra pair of hands along)It's a reign x. Very nice. climbs better than my mbuzi did and descends like the mbuzi but is a little less twitchy and bucky. I spose that's to be expected seeing as the mbuzi is a single pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted October 17, 2012 Share Looks like there only 4 or 5 XC riders in the whole of CT Ha. Sloooowly catch the monkey bru. This build day is about creating awareness and hopefully a little momentum. People don't understand that precisely zero of their ronts paid over to sanparks make their way back into the trails. That money goes towards other Sanparks projects so if we want good trails we have to make them happen. Deon is doing sterling work up there but he can use all the support and help he can. That's really what these days are about. So all of you guys thinking about coming along please do. there's no better feeling than railing a berm you built.

Mylolylo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Hey guys, I would love to help, I always think while riding the single tracks that it must take alot of work to maintain and we all take it for granted. Having said that I just need to see what my other half has planned fot that day. If I can't make it I would love to help out in the future.
