As part of the trail building effort, some 60 riders were gathered in a mini-jamboree.

To all participants of the KR Jamboree today: Thanks! Really great to see such a large turnout! As a result of today’s ride, we were able to achieve a few objectives:
1. Got great feedback from all u guys on areas of improvement
2. With 50 riders going through the trail, we have also identified potential erosion hotspots
3. With the number of endos , we now know wehre the danger zones are and where to station medics for better access during racedays
4. Got a core group of supporters signing up to kick start a trail building & maintenance group (yes you guys are gonna be called trail smurfs)
5. With all of you hiking the trail the first lap, we managed to bed down some of the gravelly parts (you think the hike was just to look see? 😉 )
