12th June - Red & Offshoots - Midweek Maintainance

I popped up on tuesday afternoon to take advantage of the last bit of sunshine before a few days of much needed rain. My riding last Sunday was cut short by sliding out on the first section of the northshore offshoot that leaves the red course just after the big berm.
The rider who helped me out of the bushes told me he'd just had exactly the same accident in the same place, as had others earlier in the day.

Looking at the dirt ramp between the two ladders, the sides had been cut away by tyres slicing thier way through the very dry and dusty surface. Riders stood little chance of making it onto the second ladder if they hit it at any speed.
Armed with a few tools, i've added about four wheelbarrow loads of material onto the top of the dirt causeway which should hold until we can sort out a more permanent solution.

I also raked a few takeoffs while it was quiet. There should be less marbles there now.

If you spot any damage on the course that needs fixing, let someone at chasetrails know via email, via a forum post on SDH or MBUK or via a message on this blog.

Next official build day will be 24th June.
