Its digging season. I can tell this because there has been no-one at the trails for over a week (apart from “the diggers”, you know who they are). We have some good ideas for new lines next year, and they will get built whether you turn up to help dig or not, becasue some people are prepared to put in the hard work to make things happen. However, if you don’t turn up and help out this winter, you will not be riding any of these new lines.

However, building someone elses trails for them is not fun. You don’t see the thing come together in the same way, or get the same satisfaction from riding it. Much more rewarding is starting your own place and making something you want to ride. You have six months…
