We've all heard it. "No dig, no ride." So where do trails come from? And what does it take to get they built … legally? Whether it is hypnotic flow trail or butt-puckering technical lines, increasingly the trails we ride are specifically built, planned and managed. But that takes more work than you might think. In this second half of our two-parter with Cory, we talk about the past, present and future of trail building here in Colorado Springs. If listening to this episode gets you fired up to go grab a shovel and help build some trail, find out more about how you can get involved at Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates.
