Motivating mountain bikers, hikers, runners, and trail seekers into Gardner Park nature trails
Mountain biking is an adventurous and fun activity, which involves riding a bicycle off-road. For this type of activity, you need a mountain bike that is designed to ride on more rugged terrain. While mountain biking is a thrilling sport, it’s also a great way to reconnect with nature. This means days of riding out in an unspoiled wilderness refuge, pedaling at our own pace, with nature views as far as the eye can see.
Why we don’t use the trails when they are wet?
Tire ruts and footprints in mud collect water. Damaged trails take longer to dry and are unpleasant for all trail users.
We need your support to keep trails stay in good shape for you to use over the many decades that they were built to last.
Please do not ride, hike, or run if you are leaving tracks or prints in the mud. If the trail is dry and open with some soft or muddy spots, please do your best to neither widen the trail or leave ruts in damp areas.
How hard is it to fix a trail after it’s damaged?
When the trail is damaged, your fellow hiker and mountain biker volunteers must schedule and spend hours repairing and smoothing the trail. This time could be better spent building more trail! In the worst cases, a single day of heavy damage can require the intensive effort of rebuilding sections of trail.
