That means you, HerbnRider!
You and your dirty, horrible music listening DH buddies are tearing up.....the dirt!!! Your fat DH tires are creating huge ruts because none of you know how to modulate your brakes.
If you can't ride up it, don't ride it at all.....Beeeotch!!!!
PS: Which Cliff bar tastes the best when you have the munchies?

Why do there have to be so much jokers on this bored? Please face the facts that the trail is getting riuned and that you should stay off of it otherwise it will have to be closed.

Why do there have to be so many Chicken Littles on this bored? The trail isn't getting ruined. It's not in danger of being closed. Ruts happen every winter. In fact, due to the high content of granite in the soil, this trail is more resistant to erosion than most any other trail in the area. Unless there are posted signs that state that the trail is closed, it is ok to ride.

So you say to hiked up the trail?
Wilson and Seney: Hooves and feet erode more than wheels
In 1994, John Wilson and Joseph Seney of Montana State University published "Erosional Impacts of Hikers, Horses, Motorcycles and Off-Road Bicycles on Mountain Trails in Montana." (12) The study tracked 100 passages by each of the four groups over control plots on two trails in national forests. For some of the passages, the researchers pre-wetted the trail with a fixed quantity of water using a rainfall simulator. The researchers measured sediment runoff, which correlates with erosion.
Wilson and Seney found no statistically significant difference between measured bicycling and hiking effects. They did find that horses caused the most erosion of the trails, and that motorcycles traveling up wetted trails caused significant impact. They also concluded, "Horses and hikers (hooves and feet) make more sediment available than wheels (motorcycles and off-road bicycles) on prewetted trails and that horses make more sediment available on dry plots as well." (p.74) Wilson and Seney suggested that precipitation will cause erosion even without human travel and this factor may significantly outweigh the effects of travel. Trail design, construction, and maintenance may be much more important factors in controlling erosion.
Wilson, John P. and Seney, Joseph P., "Erosional Impacts of Hikers, Horses, Motorcycles and Off-Road Bicycles on Mountain Trails in Montana," Mountain Research and Development, (1994), 47(1):77-88.
You're a misinformed idiot who argues without knowing the facts...
