The trails are waiting for the knobbies

Submitted by atBiker on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 20:38

Today was a very nice afternoon and after a long day at work I decided to check out the Eagle Bike Park trails to see if they were dry and ready for riding. I decided that instead of riding my bike I would go for a hike to scout the trails and then go on a ride next Thursday. The trails facing the south are dry and show the signs of having been ridden while muddy and wet. I guess this sign is being ignored by riders and hikers alike.

Here is a picture of the damage caused by the usage of the trails when they are wet and muddy, no wonder there are a few of these signs posted at the entrances of the trails.

Here is another one:

I really enjoy these trails and I am sure many Eagle residents enjoy them as well, the great thing about these trails is that they are maintained purely by volunteers and if not mistaken the city is not maintaining them at all. I have seen these guys work putting in complete days building and cleaning the trails and adding new trails and free style ramps. Kudos for these guys and the great work they do, here is an example of their work:

I was able to hike most of the south facing trails, it was nice to see the large amounts of people riding and hiking, I guess it has been a long winter and people is clamoring for nice ridding weather; myself included. I am starting my riding season this week and hopefully the weather cooperates.

Let us work together on keeping these great trails in top shape, please don't ride when muddy, volunteer your time to help keep them clean and in good usable shape and most of all let's not give our government officials any excuse to close them.

Until next time,

atBiker
