Club Trail building session #1

Meeting time:
9am Saturday 28th July

Meeting place:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=946521&t=k&om=1


Note; there is room for approx 4-6 cars at the above meeting place, it may make sense to car pool from Stepaside you could park down in Stepaside village (car park of the Step Inn possibly) and drive-up from there, it's only 5 mins or so.
There will be a load of wood just over the gate on the right hand side which will need to be carried-up as far as the Tree Trunk of Trauma.

Trailbuild co-ordinators:
Fergal Kilkenny
Steve Scrivener
tba 2

Confirmed attendees:

Fergal Kilkenny
Ben Fehily
Ryan Sherlock (for the morning - then off for long road spin)
Richie Close
Steve Scrivener
Paddy (to confirm nearer time)
Cormac


Tools / gear required:
any of the following=>

Rake
Spade
Loppers
Shears/hedge cutters
Hammer + nails (though there will be nails and screws up there)
Electric Screwdriver & screws
Chicken wire - this would be really handy if anyone has some that they don't need


Clothing
Gardening gloves
Safety glasses
Boots
Combats/old trousers

Work to be done:

Carry wood up into MADjestic
Rake/enhance/clarify MADjestic XC route (ie; lay logs along the path)
Barrow-in sandy soil to MADjestic muddy/upper berm areas (assist with drainage)
Create/clear trail from Daggetts path aerials (detail tba)
Clear thinned trail from fireroad (the one that had the two jumps that leads to Docking Bay 54)
De-mud Exit from new MAD CC (rock-roll) from the new MAD CC
Create Run-off slope to no-dabs fireroad from trail that goes across to the fireroad where no-dabs entrance is.
Clip-back branches from the Chocolate Chute
Trim back/clear the Ferny trail that runs down to the Ballyedmonduff fireroad
Create link from end of MADjestic to ferny trail above

RC: Correct if already done:
Secure TTOT from swaying from side to side
FK: done to a certain extent but may need more steadification, but I'm pretty sure that when you ride it, it will not sway as you ideally will be travelling in a reasonably straight line (hopefully)

Take away 2 pallets that are vertically nailed onto the trunk as they cannot be ridden.

FK: yep - they were only placeholders, one of them has been reinforced with planks already, the other one will get done also


Saw down that tree?

FK: err....which one?


Clear a decent run off from the second log jump, possible small trunk that needs to be dug out
FK: Will need a few runs at this to see what the landing area is like - but you're right, there's not much landing space...

There is a very challanging ride (the 3 peaks) to be done in Dungarvan. Approx a 6.5 hour trip, tough ascents (vomit hill) and crazy fast decents (suicide slope). Worth checking out..if interested contact me (0861094815 - Gene)
