Photo by Mark Langton<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At the risk of sounding like a broken record (a clich\u00e9 becoming less and less relevant), CORBA is not a group of people sitting in a meeting room. CORBA is our membership, and whether you\u2019re an actual member of CORBA or not, you are a member of the entire mountain bike community. Whether you ride on fire roads only, or enjoy the challenge of singletrack, each and every one of us has the individual responsibility of representing our sport. So when you\u2019re out there, remember that your actions speak for the entire sport of mountain biking.<\/p>\n<p>This concept really hit home last week while I was riding at Andrew Molera State Park in Big Sur. The two main trails (Ridge Trail and Bluff Trail) are connected by a singletrack trail that is closed to bikes. I didn\u2019t know this and thought I\u2019d be able to ride from the Bluff Trail to the Ridge Trail. When I got to the intersection with the connector trail, I saw the \u201cno bikes\u201d sign and thought, \u201cwhat the hell, no one will know.\u201d Then I remembered that even though this isn\u2019t my local riding area, my actions would reflect on the other locals who use the park on a regular basis. So despite passing up a great loop, I went back the way I came\u2014and had a great time. Funny thing about trails; they\u2019re totally different in the opposite direction!<\/p>\n<p>Be safe out on the trails, wherever your adventures take you this summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the risk of sounding like a broken record (a clich\u00e9 becoming less and less relevant), CORBA is not a group of people sitting in a meeting room.
