Grand Beach Trail Prep
When: Saturday, May 2nd
Meet: Breakfast at Stella’s on Sherbrook @ 9:00
What to Bring: rakes (fan or tine), spade style shovel, pruning shears, axe, buck saw, hoe, food and water.
What we’ll be doing: Tomek and I were there on the 26th and there is not too much dead fall so there is nothing really to clear which is good. Here is what needs to be done:
- There will be some underbrush to clear from some parts of the trail and this will be most easily done with pruning shears.
- We will probably clear one new path approximately 20 meters in length, but it is all in the open and hoes, rakes, and shovels will be best for this.
- We need to assess which parts of the course we are using for race. Ideally XC race times should be around 20-25 minutes for expert and the classic course is longer than this, therefore we will need to see if we can shorten the course while at the same time making sure course has its technical and fun sections.
