Yeah I'd agree with that I can't get to grips with the surfacing at all it's weird and they feel like fire road it just seems silly really, essentially they are'nt anything else other than large scale BMX tracks. It would seem that a bit of Urban redevelopment with Large BMX tracks would save the building of motorway type trails out in the hills and save both travelling time for riders and fuel. Then there could be a concentration on the building of nice twisty turney singletrack like there should be in the country. > > _______________________________________________ > mtbne-l mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.hexten.net/mailman/listinfo/mtbne-l > _______________________________________________ mtbne-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.hexten.net/mailman/listinfo/mtbne-l
