ATTENTION ALL VAIL VALLEY MOUNTAIN BIKERS - Do you support smart, sustainable trail development? Do you want to have more locally available single-track riding in Eagle County? Would you like to see to see more trails like Saddle Ridge, Wild West Ridge and Lee's Way Down?
The town of Avon is currently debating whether or not to fund future local trail development that could significantly expand the existing trail network around the West Avon Preserve. The town is holding a public meeting next Tuesday, Aug. 16th, to gauge support for these potential projects.

Can't make the meeting. The trails that have already been created are stellar! More of the same please. I like not having to drive to my rides. ❤️
Connecting communities and building sustainable trail networks with easy access for locals and visitors will increase property values, boost the local summer economy, and offer lifelong options for safe, fun and free recreational opportunities for all trail enthusiasts, young and old alike!
More trails, more visitors, more tax $$, more services for our residents. So many people drive by here on their way to Fruita, Moab, etc. Let's continue to make Eagle County a destination mountain bike mecca!
I was very disappointed when the trails in the upper Metcalf drainage were voted down. The residents of Avon have continually expressed their interest in trails in town. Please do the right thing.
I would support this measure if these future trails create more diversity, and are not simply duplicates of wild west and saddleridge... I.e. we need more beginner and advanced trails that truly capture the terrain.
I love the trails in Avon but we could use more! Building more trails will only create more guests visiting and spending there money in our lovely community. VVMBA is doing a great job educating the public on how to create and sustain mountain bike trails. We have the support and the passion to do the necessary work needed to create new trails and maintain the trails we already have.

Thank you for approving Avon trail expansion. I am a cross country rider who lives in Wildridge. The current network of trails outside my front door is so great, and the system would also benefit from increased connectivity and loop variety.
