Well, hiring a bowser is certainly a step in the right direction; given the hundreds of thousands of pounds that these jobs with a maintenance contract tend to cost, perhaps On Track could stretch to buying one, which would help acquaint the team with using them as a routine procedure, rather than a rare and unfamiliar novelty.
That said, today I rode one of the many trails I worked on before the controversial rebrand...
And to be fair, it's a credit to the talented trail builders who are the heart and soul of On Track and has held up well to an onslaught of skidding, schralping and general hoofage; that said, the lad who deserves the majority of credit for the wonder of that trail went to the trouble of buying his own digger to circumvent On Track management and all the guff that goes with it.
Overall, I'm sure it'll come good in the end; the trailbuilders are generally highly talented at bringing their visions to life and are key to the majority of the creativity that combined with a healthy dose of 2 wheels, tickles your fun buttons
There is little reason to doubt the overall quality of materials used and with a bit of remedial work, it should be another brilliant facility to help bring MTB to the masses; however, this is certainly not the 1st time that a preventable situation like this has arisen... hopefully, it will provide some valuable experience that can be learnt from.
How's Northampton holding up in the weather? Have been thinking about taking the 5yr old for a pootle on the easy stuff, worth an hour drive?
My /cat 9is doing /nothing useful soI'll chuck it out with the pigeons.
Surely the only smart move it to bu,ilt where they can last ot where a group /ofpeople want them? A hard stone llayer close to the surface doesn't need as much work as some artificial surface forced to fit.
Doesn't suit the "masses " though.
Actually surely tarmac would be good. It seems as if most people don't want natural surfaces such as mud so why not a tight tarmac surface? (Cost aside of course)

Can anyone translate this?
