Kudos to Sram for stumping up some cash for our wider benefit. With so many competing interests, it will be one hell of a task.

I’m incredibly excited about this but equally pretty concerned.

It is a good thing for sure, but just puzzled as to why they didn’t go for a Trail Coordinator for each nation to begin with?
