Ok I'm gonna chime in here. I don't ride 1/4-DD on my gravel bike but I have a sneaking suspicion that there are people who do. I've seen a bunch of guys on carbon Wunder gravel bikes since this whole pandemic shit show started. This is just my theory but I think some of these b-lines may have been created by gravel riders. Now I have no issue with b-lines for something like gravel riders. Unfortunately what I saw this weekend is that because of the b-lines the original lines are getting f'd up just due to lack of use and the close proximity to the b-line. The Altar used to have a nice clear run up to it, when I was there Sunday it appeared the b-line was being more used and the run up to the Altar was littered with loose rocks that got kicked off the b-line. It looked basically like it was being reclaimed by the trail. There are also a bunch of new cut throughs between the switch backs in between Dub Step and Pre Plunge, this I don't even understand you're saving like 10 feet of travel so it must be that those switch back sections are too hard?
