1/16/2023 10:10am My local trails want to expand with some aspirational additions/features and we needed funding. So, to help us argue our case to city/state and local businesses, I built https://app.mn-mtb.com/ to build some easy to understand analysis of any trail/region. I'd love to get your input on what you like/dislike, would want to see added, or anything else. Edit #1: You...

Amazing work! There is an area in Eagle Mountain, UT where they are looking at developing land that will eliminate about 50% of the MTB trails that have been around for 10+ years. I've shared the tool to the groups who are helping to protect this amazing recreation space. Thank you!

1/12/2023 5:18am Trailforks only shows a small minority of actual rides. To compensate for this, I did a survey and asked 1.) do you log your rides and 2.) if you do, how do you log them. turns out, Trailforks only accounted for ~20% of all rides. I’ve factored this in to my calculations to give a more accurate number. You can...

1/12/2023 5:13am I did a survey in which I asked what the riders spend was. I think what I need to do is allow users to change this dynamically since every region is very different. For example, my local trail system is a 5 mile XC track and average spend is low but a bike park, like you said, can be ~$150/day...

Just get out and ride stay local til your comfortable then go further out til you can’t stand riding the same old trails mix some hills in to build some muscle.And make excuses to go out riding instead of making excuses to not go! Keep it rubber side down recovering from falls screws all your progress & RIDE make it your motto All I want to do is RIDE it’s working for me, I’m sure it’ll work for you.

I introduced myself about a week ago. I used to ride leisurely, but regularly, years ago (just over 10 years ago) with my son. He went to heaven in 2009 and I just never really had the motivation to get back into it. I tried, but just couldn't really get back into it. I sold the bike that I rode when he and I rode, I donated his bike to the local bike shop that we bought it from...and just stopped. I certainly enjoyed riding...so I decided to get back into it. Had my first ride in years at a...

Faust Started a new thread Trail Advocacy - Quick Survey?
11/5/2022 12:08pm Hey everyone, I'm asking if you would be so kind as to do a super fast 9 question survey ( https://forms.gle/VnNmD6ajwdLLLMfBA). I've posted here a few times about how I'm trying to advocate for new MTB trails/features and have local and state governments fund more MTB related projects. The problem is, most of the data from surveys is behind a...
