Knapsack XC this saturday (6.8.11)

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hey all,
Looking at checking out the XC trails at knapsack this saturday morning at 8am with the old man.
Haven't been there before and wondering if any of the locals are gonna be out there that may be able to show me around?
If not, where abouts is the trailhead located? Easy enough to find my way around without ending up a missing person?

Cheers,

Ev

This is the Community Consultation stage of the Knapsack DH project.

It will be held at the soccer clubhouse where council staff will present the details of the proposal and the REF such that any of the community attending can get relevent details. After this stage will be a walk of the new DH trail alignment so that any issues that may be raised by stakeholders can be seen an discussed on the ground.

All in all this should be really interesting and a good opportunity to explain areas of the project as well as see any problems that may be perceived in the community.

First time I raced 50 k's. Hit the wall after 1 1/2 hrs, not enough liquid the day before I think. Got Husky 50 next week, gotta time to aim at now.
Good to catch up with other mountain men, all quicker too. Hopefully keep up with them soon Smiling
