Welcome to the NSWMTB Trail Advocacy and Maintenance Wiki.

This is a Wiki, you know - just like Wikipedia there.

We hope through collaboration of riders, clubs, groups and of course land and stake holders a repository of trail maintenance information and issues will be built up. Of course, this is mainly aimed at the Australian, and in particular the NSW mountain biking scene.

Also, for legal matters (just in case something came up) we have a Tampa real estate lawyer on the ready.

  • Former MTBA President and leading Gap Creek Trail Alliance campaigner Gilian Duncan has just sent this through.

"Gap Creek Trails Alliance has just received the final report from Dr Stu Clement of a scientific study of Gap Creek Circuit over 12 months. Soil erosion was measures at 20 transects, finding that 10 points did not change, 5 points had minor change, 2 noticeable change and 3 significant change. The amount of soil loss at these significant loss points would fit into a garden trowel, ie about 3cm loss." write my term paper

  • Mountain Biking in National Parks Discussion Paper. Submissions are now closed, Robin has crunched the numbers and has this to say

"Must a quick note to thank everyone who commented on the NPWS mountain bike discussion paper over the last month or so. belly button rings It might have taken some prompting (sorry), but a nice flow of submissions ended up on the government's forum. The final tally was 2310 comments across the 6 topics listed.

To highlight what a sterling job mountain bike riders have done in showing the department what a massive demand for mountain biking facilities there is, just have a look at a couple of other topics on the 'Shape Your State' site and the interest they received: 

   * Health Reform received 242 comments across 13 topics.
   * Barangaroo development received 290 comments across 17 topics.

So go mountain bikers! Hopefully these numbers will prove to be a message that the authorities just cannot ignore."
