At no time do all of the trails close. I'm not sure the town officials care or even think about what trail is closed or not. As a "Burke person" I can say that the relationship between the trails, out-of-town riders and locals is complex and becoming more so all of the time. On any given weekend night it may sound like a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-83213832397953600472015-07-06T16:46:42.658-04:002015-07-06T16:46:42.658-04:00Perhaps you didn't see my original post, the p...Perhaps you didn't see my original post, the problem isn't lack of maintenance, the problem is that the trails are never closed, no mater how wet or muddy. The town officials do not want anything closed because they don't want to piss off the vacationers. Unless you armor all the trails they will continue to deteriorate. Before they started this policy they closed the trails if the Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338511404440854752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-65016224746933549922015-07-06T13:26:48.142-04:002015-07-06T13:26:48.142-04:00This is starting to become a common theme in many ...This is starting to become a common theme in many places; there may be too much emphasis on trail *building* and not enough on trail *maintenance*.<br /><br />Of course, it helps if the original trail was built to be sustainable. The picture of the mud pit.... that just screams out for either a short section of bridge, or some rock armoring. Yes, that makes the trail much harder and more Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-16885158906785444812015-07-06T07:12:47.206-04:002015-07-06T07:12:47.206-04:00I had similar thoughts when riding there last week...I had similar thoughts when riding there last weekend. The whole computerized check-in system thing...am I riding trails or checking in for a plane flight? The trails on Burke Mtn were an absolute mess last weekend too.

So, thats why you see alot more wooden boardwalks etc. Its too bad and a nightmare for the trail crew but money talksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338511404440854752noreply@blogger.com
