Great discussion that has some relevance for other areas as well such as for
us in Powell River. We are experiencing a huge increase in riders, both locals
and visitors, and want to have loops that beginner/intermediates can enjoy
riding, as well as challenging trails that not everyone should even attempt…or
if they do, expect that there will be sections where they'll be walking
through it. Trails inevitably get scoured by heavy use and also by rogue moto
who can cause more damage in one or two runs than 550 MTB racers. If this
happens on trails that we want accessible for most riders of course I am going
out there to take care of it, even if an elite rider can easily clean it.
Other trails that have always been ridden mostly by advanced riders I am happy
to just leave alone except to deal with drainage issues.
