Big section of Darling Hill trails now closed to mountain bikes:

I'm hoping this is a just message from the landowners that gets addressed. That is certainly my favorite section of trails. But I also completely understand how they could be frustrated with the overcrowding, traffic, and general situation. Hopefully KT can offer some policing that appeases then and everything can move forward. It's always a tenuous situation there and the riders are generally respectful. But the massive volume of traffic is a definite concern. I know I might have some issues if I owned that land.

Those sections are still open to XC ski. I plan to get up there soon and take advantage of that.
