Well, there was a mighty turn-out from MAD (and not forgetting Cait from UCD!) for the first official trailbuild of the year.
Loads got done, we split up into 3 or 4 groups and tackled different stuff.
Morgan and his merry men did Rock n Roll, Steve & the lads did the trail from Docking Bay 54 up to the fireroad - a serious amount of hardship there.
Cait cleared a sweet alternate line after the TToT and also a new easy line into the bombhole.
Hagen and Richie & myself did the woodworking and chicken-wiring and a chicken run around the TToT.
The easy run off the TToT is prettty shakey but rideable, I'll head-up during the week and sort it out.
Barry and Nigel did some very impressive trail raking/polishing around MADjestic.
We also got to widen the ferny run to the fireroad which is now rideable.
Luke and Oz from EPIC stopped by for a chat and to make sure we were working hard enough!
Big thanks to Steve, Richie, Bren, Ben, Morgan, Paddy, Hagen, Ronan, Nigel, Barry, Cormac (feck - did I forget anyone?) for all the really tough slaving - heavy going for sure in a lot of places, everyone was wrecked and flea-bitten at the end.
Glad to get home to a shower and beer!

Thanks a million for arranging all of this Fergal. We all really appreciate it under all the cursing and sweat. 3 rock is in debt to you...
easy to arrange these things, great to see people have the interest, time and energy to get stuff done, I had enough by the end of the day though, time to recharge the batteries for a final onslaught, it'll all be welll worth it for the Dixie Dash!
