I'm sorry Pete but how can a site that allows anyone who has an interest or passion in bikes whether it be green laning/adventure/motocross/enduro/trail the chance to chat and connect freely be a negative or in your words a wedge in the biking community?as for me I'm a huge supporter of what the TRF stands for and fights for to allow lanes to stay open to all but in my opinion there is always a place for another platform for people to connect,and if all clubs close ranks and don't communicate and get along then that to me is what I would class as a 'wedge' in the biking community...but again that's just my opinion.
Shamefully the national TRF site is woefully poor and the amount of traffic on there reflects this, and if the national site was up to scratch there would be no need for so many others, but it obviously does not cater for the needs of the trail riding community nationally or others would not spring up.
Perhaps we should celebrate the diversity and enthusiasm which keeps so many sites alive, but I can't be bothered to keep trawling through the many forums to find out what is going on.
