Trail Maintainance 21st Nov 2006

I will start the post without intro as all of you knew that we had adopted Shriner's Convention!!

First of all, i would like to show you some equipment that you definately will use it while trail working.


A proper saw!! This is important when you meet those deadfalls. Especially now aday, during rainy season. You will see a lot of deadfall here and there. Cut them into pieces and make use of them. Deadfalls are useful stuff, as you can see later.


Cangkul. I think i don't need to explain how useful a cangkul right? Do i need to do so?

We start our works @ Shriner's Convention about 9:30 am. Including Pat(Penghulu), NKeat(tweeter), Cs(Major). First, we get some deadfall cut them into pieces, then put them nicely on the soil, as the pic below:

looks weird? hahaha. Firstly, i don't actually know what Penghulu trying to do, as time go on, i slowly understand and i was able to see the picture.

Next, move the earth from 1 side to the other side. Since there is a ditch, Penghulu just widen the trail and make it smoother. As usual, i will show u the pix[s] and Tweeter cangkuling the earth!! This was a hard job. I can tell you that this job is tiring!!




What is next stage? Here it is:

Patching. Patch all those earth that we moved from the entrance to the first corner. We do some massage by punching. Oh did i say i massage the earth?

Here is the pic, and the berm created!!

Here is the first corner.. how about the entrance?

Here is the entrance!!



Who is the barger sleeping in the middle of the trail? I will keep this, and you guys make the wild guess!!

Here the words from Penghulu:
"Please take it easy for a few weeks, drop all your speed before you hit the entry and just roll into it softly so you don't have to slam on the brakes to make the corner. The berm will take some time to harden up. If you come in too fast and shred our work by either locking up your back wheel or blowing over the top of the berm we'll be very cranky. If you add up all the time the three of us spent it represents 6 man-hours of work, please be courteous and don't make it a waste fo our time."

And please riders, do not remove the deadfalls that we put on the berm!! They meant to maintain the berm and hold their shape. Slow down and dont lock your rear brake, so you will not be understeer and spoil the berms. Okay? Enjoy your ride!!
