NK~Montana and I sacrisfied our sleeping, went for some little trailwork @ SC. We only did the first half due to time constrained. It took us about 2 hours. At first, we really dunno what to do. But as you try, you will see a lot of thing, and "getting them up to your hand". That is what cantonese said, which mean you will know it as you start to work on it.
Create water bars not an easy job. as u cannot dig too deep because it will spoil the trail. Once you create, you will start to wonder, how if heavy rain? The size big enough to flow the water? a lot more conflicts and dilemmas.
And when we come to switchback, we saw how riders spoil the berms due to a lot of reasons. And Pat had taught us the way to for them ride in the right lane and not to under steer. Maintaining the berm is abit tough. You probably need something to hold the soil. As not to brake the rule of thumb from Pat, which is not to cut anything alive, we have to search for deadfall. Cut it into pcs, and put it @ side of the berm.
If you come across, please do not remove those deadfalls. They meant to hold the soil. And only 2 of us moved them from far away. I hope that our works will be appreciated. If you do feel we did the wrong thing, kindly tell us @ our forum or fakawi site, fell free to comment.
There are actually a lot of fun in trail maintaining. Why don't get youself involved? By doing trail works, you can see a lot of things rather than just ride on the trail.
Wokay, enough of cogs. Hopefully more people will get involve in the trail maintainance. Happy riding!! Thx Pat for the earlier tips, and they help a lot. Hopefully the next trail maintainance will be soon. Pic will postup later due to technical problems.

We had use a lot of deadfalls to hold the soil.
