The business of Mountain Biking

The Bureau of Land Management has recently presented new data on the impact of mountain-biking tourism.  I am glad to see data to support that Mountain Biking brings in an estimated $24 million each year to the local economy.  Estimates indicate that since 2000 the number of riders in the valley has grown from 50,000 to 160,000.  This is serious business.
