Change is going to be inevitable, especially when you have thousands of bikes
tearing up a trail every month. I suppose, in considering myself a fresh face
on the Shore, that I'm welcoming to any work that gets put into trails -- when
it's good work (something that can only be truly tested with time), and when
it throws a new challenge your way. Perhaps that challenge is to make it
"easier," but then it opens the opportunity to push your limits of speed.
Perhaps that challenge makes it "harder," and throws a technical curveball
into your ride, slowing you down and working on your handling skills.
Either way, I would much rather have the work being put in than to leave
things to wither. To me, trail work is a sign that people care and want to
preserve the thing that they love -- even if those people's knees have been
worn down from their own riding, and their altruistic acts are completely
selfless. #Digger
