Totally agree that Frank’s Tank is a mess. The messier it gets the more riders look for a fresh line and end up causing more damage.
I rode it a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t help but think about trying to repair it. This and several other routes in the area are all in need of a bit of TLC. Maybe local clubs, shops & landowners should form an initiative to maintain the local routes.
I’ve always found it surprising that the National Trust, local council and landowners have not embraced mountain biking. It’s a great opportunity for the local economy, whilst not at the expense of conservation. In it’s current form the environment is coming off worse. Something has to change.
Anyone with advise and experience on how to go about this?
