Hi There

I am really interested in trail issues over here since there is a real problem between users. Hikers and riders in the summer (although it is more of a hiker's perception of riders really), and the use of the trails for xc skiing in the winter. the land owners (ie the government) really tailor the trails for the winter sport and really haven't shown any commitment to work with mtb. IMBA came last year, and showed all the great work they can do. Hopefully it opened some peoples eyes a bit

I have had to take a step back from all the politics as i found it very frustrating. Rider complaining and not putting they money where their mouth is to do the trail work, and just watching the National Capital Commission make promises they dont keep (those are the land owners for the Gatineau Park here, a federally run corporation).

Have a great day!
Hannah
