When You Volunteer, Your Time Matters

Most mountain bike trails in the US would not exist without volunteers. That is true for trails in Northwest Ohio as well. In addition to actually creating and maintaining the trails, those volunteer hours show park managers how important the trails are to the community. This type of information influences future land access, funding and even legislative decisions.

You already did the hard part of trudging out in the woods and doing the work, so please, take a couple minutes to log in the time you spent. It will make that hard work go just a bit farther.
