Mountain Bike Enthusiast (Omaha)

It is called http://www.trailshaveourrespect.org, click on link to get the description and location of the trails. We maintain about 10 major trails. We have trail days where volunteers mow, trim branches, repair and build single track trails. Some of these trails are used by USA Cycling sponsored MTB races. See http://www.psycowpath.com/ for race details.

These trails are NOT maintained by tax dollars or government entities. These trails are totally supported by volunteers who enjoy cycling. Maintenance equipment and expansion of trails is funded through membership fees, donations and grants.
