The successful trail must: 1. Satisfy the trail bike enthusiast; 2. Provide protection for the environment; and 3. Be developed and managed in a cost-effective manner. A trail that does not meet all of the above criteria is a failure. Fortunately, all three criteria can be successfully met by any land manager with a sense of fairness and a willingness to put forth the necessary effort.
