Updated by: thepinetree on 10/22/2009 08:23 AMBig Trees, A.R.T. and the Economics of Mountain Biking We started our visit in Arnold, CA with a presentation we don’t give very often – The Economics of Mountain Biking. In less than an hour we covered a few topics and generally outlined the following formula: bicycle + people who spend money + destination with great trails = singletrack tourism. There’s definitely more to it than that but those components are key. As reformed ‘road trippers’ and past poster children for singletrack tourism, Chris and I were really inspired to share mountain bike success stories to various local riders, business people, and local leaders.... So you’re probably asking yourself; where the heck is Arnold, California? Well, it’s within a few hours of both Sacramento and the Bay Area in the foothills of the Sierra. To our surprise, hidden amongst the big trees and sweeping vistas, there are miles of quality singletrack in the Calaveras District of the Stanislaus National Forest.
