Trail Maintenance 16 Nov 2008: Carnival
Nearly every trail that I deal with on trail days is Bukit Kiara’s classic, but you cannot argue the iconic status of the Carnival trail.
From the moderate climb that leads to lung-busting climbs, uphill switchbacks, fast & furious singletrack, rocky downhill switchbacks, rock garden, river drop, 3-tier downhills, no trail at Bukit Kiara has such compilation of those characters.
It is also the host for the yearly Kuala Lumpur Mountain Bike Carnival, hence the name of the trail. This year race will be on 29 and 30 November 2008.
The challenge today is trying to fix Carnival to its best.
I don’t have the number, but about 15 people showed up. The Penghulu, Pat, divided us into several work parties. Me and Johnny were given no. 10, that was a fast and rooty section towards the end of Carnival. The rest got their number and location.
Here are a few photos that I managed to snap…
[Safety briefing before the trail work. The location is at Taman Lembah Kiara]
[BEFORE: Putting some rocks to protect the trees' roots. This was just the beginning...]
[AFTER: Smooth...! Under the dirt were lots of rocks]
[Jun and Tony]See you guys at the race...!

Nice work with the roots. How did you get the before and after photo aligned so perfectly?
We did what we can.
Anyway, the alignment of the photos was just "guesstimate".
I saw the other sections of work photos at Fakawi, very nice touches on the earth works. Could I use the photos in my blog?
