The National Park Service is proposing a simpler process for considering bike access on park roads and trails, with public comments open through November 2.
Baker's Park in Silverton, Colorado, adds 10 miles of new singletrack across 11 trails with over $1 million in grants, creating high-elevation flow trails near the tiny mountain town.
Brule River State Forest had singletrack but it was only open to hikers. Switching the trail to multi-use created a good problem for the area: they would need a lot more trails. Now, the forest boasts 9 miles and counting.
A phased proposal could grow Ponderosa State Park's bike trails by nearly 50%, adding about four miles of purpose-built singletrack to ease crowding near McCall.
Built with input from adaptive athletes and funded by a coalition of donors, including REI and the Albertson Family Foundation, the 5.5-mile Kevin Pavlis Park trail system outside Boise just opened in May.
Thanks to a $55,000 grant from Shimano's Trail Born Fund, Wentworth Ski Hill is building a race-ready double black that will be the only trail of its kind east of Quebec.
In this podcast, Hunter Allen shares how time-strapped mountain bikers can add structure to their riding, manage recovery as they age, and make sense of fitness data like continuous glucose readings.
