Feels like a good write up. All I do is turn up every other week and stand around holding tools in cosplay workwear. But it is immensely rewarding, gets me out of the house, collaborating with people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. I have made friends, been shown new trails and learned a lot.
If you ever turn up to your local trails and think they are all blown out, rutted, covered in leaves, waterlogged etc please consider joining your local trail builders. Or you could just do what most people do -open up Facebook and complain about the state of the trails and do nothing to help.
By getting involved we get to renew and maintain existing trails, but also get to create new trails, build features that we want to ride and also deepen your understanding of the different line choices and how to ride them.
