The new year is off to a hot start with more new mountain bike trail openings! We started tracking monthly trail openings in June of last year, and in the last six months of 2019 we counted 63 new trails. Stay tuned to find out how many new trails are added in 2020.
Sweetwater Regional Park (Bonita, California): While mountain bikers have been enjoying the trails at Sweetwater Regional Park for many years now, on January 4 a new $1.9M bike park was added with a jump line, pump track, skills area, and new flow trails.
