Why do the trails need repairing so regularly?
The terrain near Bristol isn’t ideal for mountain bike trails – it’s mostly muddy and flat, with poor drainage. A further problem is that being near to a city centre the trails see a massive volume of use – thousands of people per month, according to automatic monitoring that has been installed. On the plus side, we have trails that we can ride to from the city centre, and large number of potential volunteers to help repair them.
