With all the recent rain, one of the older trail sections at my local spot got hit hard with alot of erosion (exposed roots and a gully down the middle of one section). It's an older trail that wasn't designed real well and goes directing down the fall line so water run off is usually a problem. We already put in a proper divert section that winds accros the fall line and looks solid (no issues after all the rain). I was thinking the only way to fix the old section is to put in a few water bars to get the run off to go off trail. I did some research online about how they should be put in and was looking at trying to use something more bike friendly that pressure treated wood. Over at GCC there's a few water bars on a steeper section that seem to be a flexible black strip, it must work really well because there's no erosion there at all and you hardly notice it when you roll over it. Any thoughts on what material I could use that would be bike friendly?
