Trailcare?

I've not ridden off road much at all this year. It really started with the rains (which lead to the  floods). So far it has rained more than 50% of the days in 2011.
The trails are muddy, the singletrack is being smashed by users uninformed by the trail erosion they cause by riding the soft mud. Tyres cutting down and spreading the singletrack into sections of double track or widening to the point where a truck could get though.
We will always have riders who are ignorant of damage caused, the are just out to have fun. To these guys and gals, the mud and the dirt IS the fun.
So fellow riders in SE Qld, please try to respect the trails we ride and hopefully over the next few years, we can get trail builder to consider other methods of trail construction which create more sustainable trails.

Wish I had a pic for you, but I haven't been out on the tracks.
Kenzo.
