Majik Forest Trail "maintenance"

[wesley_r]

Location: as the singletrack starts into the forest - there's the long bridge, followed by a straight, big berm, drop-off, then 3 "dips" that lead onto a smaller bridge - you with me? good...

 

Just before that smaller bridge (after the 3 "dips") it seems someone has been trying to form a new trail (possibly leading into a jump) - the problem is it's essentially halved the usable width of that part of track, as the part that's been worked on has turned in to a massive eroded loose rut, which is smack bang on the perfect line onto the bridge - twice now i've been pulled into it and nearly saw my ass

 

has anyone else noticed this new trail addition gone wrong, or is just me and is it perhaps maybe just bad erosion? And if you have a suggestion for the trail, or need to flag something like this (that's potentially dangerous), who do you speak to? What's the etiquette? Do I contact Tygerberg MTB (of which I am not a member, so it may be a bit cheeky)? I am more than willing to get my hands dirty to help sort it out if manpower and time are an issue...

 

What are your thoughts on the issue?

Have mailed Tygerberb MTB to see what their take is...
