Bernese and Biel trail builders join forces
In many Swiss forests, people are once again shoveling and carpentering for all they're worth this summer. However, because most trail-building projects are on the edge of legality (or beyond it), there is hardly any coordination between different initiatives. Contrary to all preconceptions, the people of Bern are the fastest in this respect: the Bear Riders, who built the trail on the Gurten, and the Torpedos from Biel, who are planning a trail building project at the Magglingen-Bahn, have now announced the merger of the two associations. Because together we are stronger, is all we can say. And: Support your local trail. Incidentally, the Bear Riders will be riding, barbecuing and celebrating on the Gurten next August 1st - so an alternative national holiday is guaranteed.
