There's a mini flow trail about 10 mins from me we've been riding and taking care of for years. It's like 20 years old and most people we meet there have just considered it to have been there forever. Randomly met the builders one day, kinda restarted everyone's interest in digging. Mostly it was just maintenance. There's always fuckheads doing shit like building terrible wooden kickers or taking down the council fence for easier access.
One day a sign goes up about a meeting with council and potentially closing the trail. Got worried esp seeing the old folks who turned up (was a small gathering).
We walked the trail with them and the ranger and turned out they were cool to have us there using they land. They never had any issue and figured since we were keeping it clean we were no trouble.... was crazy, but i wish those kinds of folks were everywhere. Even the ranger lady was cool when she realised mtb riders don't want to destroy anything.
Now it's winter ish and the bull ants will have gone away, we'll be getting back out to clean it up. If it's still good I'll let people know if you wanna ride. All dirt but i used to ride it on my dj, just installed a front brake for security blanket.
