The process of developing a mountainbike project can be complex. Planning, approvals, evaluations are all required for this project. It can also have an impact on the tourist market. This project could make mountain biking a mainstream sport. Before you begin, it is important that you check the permit requirements.
The Warburton MTB project was created after community members raised the issue of developing a mountain bike facility. Parks Victoria awarded a Healthy Parks, Healthy People grant to the project. A feasibility study was done by Warburton.
To create the trail the Rhett Walton memorial trail committee collaborated closely with Parks and Recreation Department. The committee sought to find the best location for the trail, while minimising the impact on the environment. The Parks and Recreation Department was the first to partner with the committee in February 1997.
On October 30, 1999, was dedicated the Rhett Walters Memorial Mountain Bike Trail. It was built to avoid the Bear Creek drainage. This was done to minimize the impact on the environment and ensure that the trail could be used for all kinds of mountain bike riders.
The trail is surrounded with state forest, Yarra Ranges National Park (and Warburton). To ensure safety, the trails are spread across many areas.
Warburton has been developing the MTB project for over two-years. Over twenty-two people supported the project at the public hearing that was held on December 8. The public hearing was a success and a plan for development was approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission. After the public hearing, the Commission decided whether to endorse the project.
The Commission ultimately did not endorse the project. The Memorial Committee requested that a planning committee prepare a revised plan which would be presented to Commission. This plan would include an analysis of the potential impact on local economies and the tourist market. This committee would also assess potential trail sites and make recommendations.
The MTB Project is a database of mountain bike trails that is maintained by the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA). Adventure Projects created the database. They are a company that builds authentic communities for outdoor sports. The project also includes a website, virtual rides and photos. The database contains more than 39,000 trails from all over the world. This project includes interactive features as well as GPS capabilities. Riders and regional experts compile trail information. The data is user-generated, and the database is continuously expanding.
The USGS has used the MTB Project as an official source for trail data. These data are used to generate a map which shows the elevations of the trail and the names of the peak, along with other land designations. The map can be used as a basis map for the trail. The map can be viewed on an iPhone or Android phone.

Some prefer to measure speed by counting laps around a mountain while others prefer to measure the distance between turns.
