In today’s Guardian

Two volunteer mountain bikers have also been recruited to look at route development and build relationships with other cyclists to help repair and maintain routes.

Anyone any info? Anyone own up? Sounds promising?

If they are in post already, they’ve been busy putting up no cycling signs on my side of the moors.

10 or 12 years ago I had the enormous pleasure of riding every legally-cycleable trail within the Dartmoor NP boundary (and other NPs and OANBs). Each trail was recorded, photographed, filmed and graded and went on one ma-hoosive website (1SW) aimed at promoting mountainbiking in the southwest. Sadly, the website was only live for a year or two before any and all funding ran out. All that data is still out there somewhere, though. Could it help them as a starting point?
