More MTB impact Studies
Former MTBA president, Gillian Duncan has informed us of 2 more studies into the soil impacts of MTBing
"Hello everyone
Gap Creek Trails Alliance has just received the final report from Dr Stu Clement of a scientific study of Gap Creek Circuit over 12 months. Soil erosion was measures at 20 transects, finding that 10 points did not change, 5 points had minor change, 2 noticeable change and 3 significant change.

The final report is attached here in a small version.
