Just spent the day out going over the course with the event organisers and working on the corridor alignments for the first of the build days (in less than two weeks).
The inital concerns of looking at the angle of a couple of the tracks on GPS were confirmed when I got back out to the site, so I'm:
The inital concerns of looking at the angle of a couple of the tracks on GPS were confirmed when I got back out to the site, so I'm:
- Removing a uphill switchback towards the end of the new section of trail in the pictures below, it was just not going to work.
- One of the tracks finished up a gully with a 25% incline, which wouldn't have lasted the race let alone be considered sustainable building- this will now drop earlier to the valley (through a sweet descending switchback) and then climb more gradually up.
- Hopefully going to put a bridge in across a gully which will give some great atmosphere to that part of the course, and avoid a nasty gully causeway.
The rest of the time out there was spent listing the area's that need work (ready to get final approval from the land manager), prioritising the construction, and making a plan of action for the first build day.
I'll try and get a course map and some more photo's up shortly.
