Come up on Sunday, there are going to be a few of us doing maintainence so between us we should be able to pick you up ๐Ÿ˜‰

We are adding flow to the upper descent line so don't run us down..

Ton, It doesn't sound like your sort of thing.
There is a black grade technical ascent from the bottom of the Descent Line back to the car park, you don't push back up. Only DH kidz do the push, but the DL was never intended as a DH track, so they're always going to be a bit disappointed with it all. I assume you don't have one of those big DH bikes, so why didn't you ride back up??.
What we are doing on the 21st, smoothing it out a bit, is something we have been forced into, to a certain extent. Too much miss information on the internet about it's purpose, Too many Dhers turning up expecting a DH track, which it isn't and was never intended as. The track gets dissed, SingletrAction get dissed, but no fault of ours, we originally built what FC would allow, a technical XC track down a hill. The techy climb is very good and rewarding when you can clean it without a dab.
