Trail Maintenance 18 October 2009: Carnival
The Carnival trail (Lower Carnival) is one of most used trails in Bukit Kiara. The abuse comes both from all sorts of riders, cross country guys and downhillers, and also hikers.
Since this yearly Kuala Lumpur Mountain Bike Carnival (KLMBH) is in 6 weeks time, it is timely to do some touch up on the Carnival trail. You can also read my previous post on this matter, click here.
These were the guys who showed up this time; Adilah, Ashley, Beatrice, Derald, Hui Peng, Jason, LeeNya, Megat, Pat, Rizal, Soon, Umar, Visan, Yew Jo. As usual, Pat is the leader.
I also got a new cangkul for this trail maintenance. My old one was ageing and gave way. Read more about cangkul here.
We were divided into several small teams. Me and Megat this time are in one team. We repaired the triple terrace drop entrance by making it wider and stronger, by adding side retainer, rocks and compacted soils. We also did some rock armouring & soil compacting in between the roots that lead towards the finish line.
I also created some waterbars to divert the water away. Others had their parts and we all contributed to make the trail more rideable and more sustainable.
No photos this time. I forgot my camera... shoot me!
However, I will take some photos after this to show the results. Stay tune...
