FYI. I'd also suggest checking out www.offcamber.com for more insight into some of the concerns of Nederland locals re: West Mag and the Bike Patrols efforts in the area. In fact a meeting of the minds has been convened for tomorrow at the 1st St Pub in Ned so come on up and let's talk trails (and drink beers) and hopefully make a plan of attack to have a concrete positive impact RIGHT NOW. 6:15pm Wednesday 8/16. See below for some local suggestions for areas most needing some trail work ASAP...
"Amen. In the collective Off Camber opinion what's the #1 trail fix needed (short of a decimating plague) right now in Ned?"

Rock on. Now we're getting somewhere. Some concerns:
– The trail known as Sugar Mag is an eroded gully in many places, a wide swath in all places. I was thinking about this - by creating visual obstacles it may be possible to enhance this trail. Ditto that for the below.
- Hobbit Trail is severely eroded, especially the upper sections
- The closure of Tennessee Mountain stuff is troublesome. I've been considering setting up a meeting with the Tolls to try and open dialougue, but would be interested in hearing what you have done.
- I think you'll find volume of riders to be a fairly consistent theme with the mountain residents. Trespassing is a big problem. Maybe just a dialougue about mountain culture and what values are important to us. Similarly, we need to know where you are coming from as well.
I coach a group of ten kids ages 13-16 who want to be put to work with trail issues. We are up on West Mag pretty much every day.
That's my $.02 for now. More as I think of it.
