Description:
TRAIL AUDIT 2026
- Direction and rating signs in place at entries.
- Trail Filter, (skill check), in place at entries.
- Gap jumps in place with B line options to avoid.
- Give way signs in place at fire trail crossings.
- Steepest section 47%, measured in the middle rock chute.
- Shortcut, 'French line', continues to form towards the bottom of the second block. This removes the chalanging corner section, which should be maintained to reward skilled riders. By placing a steeper berm here it will direct riders more to the left, detering them from shortcutting. A simpler solution would be placing a large non movable log in the parth.
- At the gap jump, at the bottom of the second block, it appears have been digging in the gap. This could become a hazard if it gets deeper, if people land short it could catch their front wheel resulting in a over handle bar crash.
Fill gap to original height and smooth.
- 'DROP' sign needs replacing at entry to last block.
- At end, people have been shortcutting back to the fire trail, despite efforts to block it with large logs. The fastest line is fully blocked, but another section needs a large non movable log to stop riders. The shortcut is ruening the main line, and its a steep drop onto a relatively busy fire trail with a blind corner which risks a collision with a vehicle.
