There is going to be new trails built in the area I live in by the state, and they are not going to be the wide gravel type of trail. It's going to be good trail and it is going to be legal to mtb's. It going to be located not too far from Spruce Run(And can very well wind up being the spruce run trails.) Very stoked to hear this man, now potentially 4 good trail systems all within 20 minutes from where I am.

Nice to hear a new trail is being built, is it singletrack?

Also how far is it from NYC?

Our legal trails got shut down for us and made more HORSE friendly.

Then we raised 50g's for a DJ and stunt park, which our city promptly spent on roads.

Whoever is the horse hugger is there should get the boot.

Excellent news. When will they be completed?

Screw Horses. There's no way you can tell me that a horse does less damage to the trail than a bike does. Garbage.

Me and a friend where riding Briones trails out here, and we see two horsers. So we get of our bikes. But I guess he gets off too abrubtly. One horse freeks, rears up, AND FARTS. Then the rider reprimands my friend for not getting off his bike the right way.

How about riding an animal that can handle things you might commonly find on a public trail? Like a donkey or something?

Its not the real life damage a bike can cause that keeps people in power favouring horses. Its the perception that anyone on a bike is a punk and therefore undeserving of the same kind of accomodation.

To be fair, I can see how a mountain bikes could be pretty obnoxious given they move about 5 times as fast as anything else out there. Of course that is easily remedied by courstesy on our part.

Good call on that Giant reccomendation in the other thread, btw. a 600 dollar bike probably was overkill given the guy most likely would never see anything worse than a gravel road.

Very stoked to hear it - now get out there and start digging.

think i can get a link or something of where it is.

glad to hear that there is a another trail opening to mountain bikes.

Yeah bikes themselves don't cause a majority of the damage. It's the uncaring riders who screw with the living trees and their environment that do. It's a shame... But it's great that you've got another trail opening by you

i recently read in article on trails for bikers.

and imba with the help of alot of other people are pulling really hard over at washington to get some key places opening to us. it isnt looking good, but you have to give them the credit for being there and trying. glad to see it is helping somewhere, and what place better than in my state

Sweet. It'd be cool to have more trails around, but basically I'd like people to ride the ones we have with..

Go to the state site and search for Spruce Run. The State aquired a who bunch of property and they already dedicated it to singletrack. I'm hoping to be one of the trail builders.
