What do mountain bikers riders care about? The reason I ask is I'm trying to develop a list of GPS
waypoint types unique to mountain biking.
By backcountry I mean wilderness mountain bike riding in the woods. Maybe but not necesarily for a
few days on the trail, camping in tents, etc..
Many activities happen in the backcountry like backpacking, 4-wheel drive, mountain biking, etc..
Some interests are common to all. I've listed my understanding of these common location elements at
the bottom of this message.
What I'm wondering is what locations are of unique interest to backcountry mountain bike riders. I
don't know much about mountain biking so I submit myself to your mercy.
I can venture a few guesses like dangerous hills and quicksand, but these are only guesses.
Thanks for your help.
