No no, that isn't me with the dog. Although I know the guy and will pass the message on.
The new piece of singletrack is super short. Just really a link between two different trails, so maybe the route will be a little different this year.
Cool.
Not sure how they could fit that in, to be honest. It would be quite a change to work in that little amount of trail. Since it also ends on the fire road yellow, it would mean adding more fire road and probably taking away singletrack.
The only way I could see is if they took you down the rocky washed-out trail then right back up that new piece. But that seems a stretch.
