I group ride in Paducah on Mondays (road bike) and there are some kids that ride with us that are a part of the McCracken Mountain Biking racing team. It's turning into a pretty big thing over there. SEMO has it's Mudcats which is also a big deal.
Isn't it time for Southern Illinois bike advocates to start something for mountain biking youth in Southern Illinois?
We have some awesome trails. Touch, GlenDixon, and now Kinkaid and Cedar. I think Touch of Nature could be the ones to get this going in conjunction with SMBA. I feel like this region need it. The more kids we get into mountain biking, the more of reason new trails will be accepted.
What do you all think?
