Ha, cool. My bad. I also think this is great. Would have been nice to see something like this back in the 90s (there are some people in HRM gov’t who were mtb’ers back then though, and did what they could) but better late than never, right?

Maybe it’s “the fastest” / “growing” / “youth sport”. In other words, a youth that’s growing can go really fast on a mountain bike. :slight_smile:
