Meeting the FC

[Rory]

The FC are arranging a meeting with us about trail repairs and dig days.  The date will be either 7th or 9th of June.  Those that are still interested in building official trails please leave a message on here.

[Rory]

Meeting was postponed until this Wednesday 16th June 4.00pm @ PVC. I'll be attending. Any questions you would like to ask post em on here or come along, anyone welcome.

I think I'll come over and put my pennies worth in mate. Will bring bike and have a ride out too.

[AND]

Unable to attend this one, but please point out, not all of us want the hills turning into the new M1. Cool if they would like to build some natural looking trails also?

Hi Rory. Unable to attend, my late pennies worth. I like Dalby, some of its horrible and some of it flows beautifully. The thing is its an all year round trail, during the summer months we can all find cracking single track to ride, but i think my point is, its difficult to please everyone, man made tracks that ride natural but last are hard to simulate, Yes ideally we don't want motorway, but to at least have a rideable loop we can use all year will be fantastic. Keep up the good work.

[Su]

I will happily help with any digging or trail repairs.

[Rory]

First Dig Day, will be in July. It will be a Sunday, will confirm asap.
Those attending must be insured, best way is to join Singletraction for £12.
The first dig will be to add a pipe and drainage on part of the black route called 'Les's'.
Les's is an upgraded section of the original black route, a downhill with rock drops, berms and other features to be added as we build and dig. I will post a map and photos soon.
Looking for around 10 members to help dig or support.
Tools will be provided.

This is our chance to work with the FC and build a relationship with them. This section will be excellent when finished, fast, flowing with the some nice teccy features and with our help it will be clear of water and weather proof.

Whos in then?

Also watch this space as we have spoken to The Purple Mountain Bike Centre (Dalby, Kielder) about a trail cente and facilities.

If i'm back... i'm in! Thanks for making the effort today Rory, i'm sure if we can forge a positive relationship with the FC it will bode well for the future and longevity of our precious trails.
