Mountain biking trails Please!

As a long time Bloomington resident (25 years) and avid biker I have watched the meteoric rise in popularity of mountain biking and was confused by Bloomington's lack of developing trail systems to satisfy the demand by their residents.

Many neighboring metro cities have capitalizing on this trend by building out mountain biking trail systems while Bloomington has been left behind....

I have spent a lot of time in Nine mile creek/Moir park area and the unique topology would provide the base for a premier mountain biking trail system if we realize the opportunity.

A surprising amount of trail can be built in a relatively small area. The impact on environment and sustainability can be managed and is well documented. To anyone who would argue otherwise i would encourage them to go observe other local trail systems to see the benefits first hand.

Please consider helping Bloomington catch up and develop a truly unique recreational resource.
