This is now locked in and Dirt Art and BMCC want to go ahead with two build days at Knapsack on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of March.
This will be working on sections of the yet untouched DH below Lover's Walk and the new alignment that Dirt Art are building nicely.

Knapsack Build Day on the 8th December
It was a really busy and frantic day where we had a lot of teams working on various features on the trail as well as continuing work on the rehab. Despite the heat, and thanks to Todd's care with providing water, we managed to get a lot done. All in all the area looks very different to what it was as a muddy turning area and few old eroding fire trails! In a year or two as growth returns this will be a really nice spot!
