The data ncludes the time it took you to traverse a particular route. It seems that some mountain bikers are using this feature to create a &#8220;time trail&#8221; competition and posting their times to see who is fastest. Obviously, trying to go as fast as possible on our shared use trails is not acceptable as it can endanger other users, including but not limited to mountain bikers. In response to this situation, we have learned that National Park Service rangers will be intensifying their presence at locations known to be experiencing this time trial scenario, Cheeseboro Canyon Park in Agoura Hills being one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Currently it is the policy of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area&#8217;s managing agencies that events that displace or affect the safety of other trail users on public open space trails are prohibited. If you want to race, go to a sanctioned race (usacycling.org). If you want to go fast, go to a location that is set up for high speed mountain biking, such as Mammoth Mountain (mammothmountain.com).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mark Langton It has come to our attention that it is possible that small group of mountain bikers is using the web site Strava to have &#8220;competitions&#8221; in various locations around the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation area.
