(Deon) Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 9am-1pm/3pm - First volunteer build day for 2014 and it's going to be a good one! We will be building a divert where the Vasbyt trail crosses Downhill 3.The plan is to build a berm - a good one - to keep speed and offer some safety for the potential of riders colliding, which I can still not believe has never happened given the amount of close calls! Come when you can but plan to leave at 3pm. Something special lined up for after - best to work up an appetite!
DJR Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 That's a hot spot! (I'll be there, but I may just ground the bloody minions and confine them to the loving ministrations of their mother for ruining my holiday plans.) (Deon) 1
(Deon) Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Will try to be there...C'mon, really? Reaeaeally, you know you want to..
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 C'mon, really? Reaeaeally, you know you want to.. Yeah, I do... trying to organize baby sitters...
DJR Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah, I do... trying to organize baby sitters... I have 2 teenagers I want to embarrass, so you can have them for free as baby sitters! On second thoughts, currently I wouldn't trust them enough to let them look after a rock garden. You have seen the kind of machetes the one Little D brings to build days, so the offer comes with an indemnity form to be filled in triplicate. (Deon) and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Guest Omega Man Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 See you all there. I'm not putting laterite in my truck. (Deon) 1

Capricorn Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 again, poor advertising of the results of the efforts. Pics > mumblings... Entry into divert: Divert almost in its entirety: tiny kicker into exit berm: popcorn_skollie, Kranky and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3
Flowta Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 again, poor advertising of the results of the efforts. Pics > mumblings... Entry into divert: Divert almost in its entirety: tiny kicker into exit berm: Thanks Cap
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks mate... Pissed I couldn't make it, but priorities are priorities. Seems it wasn't a great turnout in the end though.
Capricorn Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 i'm sure y'all already know, but DH 3 along the road is in poor shape in places, with holes big enough to swallow a wheel, or getting there in a hurry. I stuffed some of the holes with rocks.There's a log/pole that's in the middle of the trail and running parallel to it. Might need to be removed as it deflects wheels nicely. That part of the track is turning into one long rut.TBH, its not a problem. Yet. But will require some grading or filling in at some point.
Guest Omega Man Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks mate... Pissed I couldn't make it, but priorities are priorities. Seems it wasn't a great turnout in the end though.Family first. Ja pretty small. Pity cos Deon organised a cooked lunch for all the volunteers. There were a few cameo appearances so it wasn't all that bad. Anyways we got done what needed to be done. It's gonna be dry this week. I hope it doesn't get torn to pieces. We should ask CBC for beer donations for our next build. They did support a team in the Epic and I am rather partial to their Pilsner. Are you Listening CBC?

But with Bennet doing work on Vasbyt this month maybe we can do work on the DH. Thoughts people?
