Weekend MTB Rides

[Irulan]

I take it mud riding is not frowned upon in your area because your soils are stable enough to not be damaged?

The bikes don't damage the soil because the trails are covered with damp leaves. But when cars and trucks tramp on the paths, things get terrible And this is where we get muddy: on the vehicle tracks

I have no idea whether our soils are stable. What I do know is that tire ruts seem to level out with no permanent damage to the trails after the soil dries out each year. Also, mud riding does not seem to be frowned upon around here.

Maybe I'm missing something. Do you have more info on muddy, unstable, trail soils that you can share?
