We’re not a drop in the bucket. DNV trail count data shows bikers are the \#2 rec user group on DNV land, second only to kids swimming lessons. More than soccer, pickle ball, tennis, or any other group. And the District puts about $0 into mountain biking and will continue that way until there is a new Mayor and a significant change in the power group on Council.
Speaking otr with LSCR staff, they are aware of virtually every unsanctioned trail out there, and given the current bike tech and that the trail trend is not dependent on wood structures a la Reaper etc., they know closing unsanctioned trails is practically impossible. Good lines will survive, and the blown out creek beds will be abandoned.
