For more on the local level, one of our Board members attended an interesting webinar this morning on the economic impact of mountain biking in Vermont. Take a look at the powerpoint. The growth in the sport is amazing and dollars spent by visitors to these trails and their town hubs is amazing. Some good statistics here in support of our goal to make the Lake George Region and southern Adirondacks a regional trail network attractive to visitors froom hours away.
