Appreciative For The Trail Access

Just last night I was out on a ride on some single track in town. There are several trails there but some are designated to foot traffic only. What I though was cool and haven’t ever seen before was and IMBA sign with the basic rules and ettiquette for mountain bikers.  Made me think about how lucky I am to have a sweet trail right in town.

A few weeks I had the opportunity to ride with a couple of folks from IMBA who were in town visiting and doing trail work in Oakridge. Unfortunately there were so many riders that night that and we all split off into several groups I never did get a chance to thank Chris and Inga for their hard work.

We’re all pretty damn lucky to have such a cool organization working to keep trails open and safe. With that in mind… if you want to learn more about IMBA and what they do, visit their site and sign up for their monthly newsletter to stay informed.

And all I have to say is.. it’s easier to obey the rules and stay off the trails we’re not supposed to be on. It makes things easier for groups like IMBA to negotiate access rights if everyone just simply obeys the rules.
