Hey all,
Just wondering if there was a website that has trail status's on it? Other day pedalled solid for half hour up a fire trail, all to find out that the trail I was aiming for was closed for maintenance. Not a happy chappy. Then had to return back down the fire trail Also have been mid drive to a place to find out the mate got there early and its closed.
So question:
Is there a website?
Or
If not, could I use my web development experience and make a website (also a mobile version) that has all the framework for all well known trails in Australia, that is updated by the riders about the current trail status? I imagine it would be as easy as going to the website after your ride and posting a short message like
"Rocketfrog closed for Track Maintenance"
"Due to recent rain, tracks really boggy. Would give it a day or two"
People/groups could also post about upcoming track maintenance days. Could also have a weather section that could be viewable from the phone. See past 24hr rainfall, current temp.
Basically before the ride check where your going. Make any updates you feel need to be mentioned after you ride.
Thoughts? Would you use it?
Thanks
