Get involved in trail work. This will allow you to dictate not only the continuation of trail that you currently ride, but a voice in what type of new trails are incorporated in to your existing trail system. Check out http://www.imba.com/contacts/near_you.html to find an IMBA club near whom with you can volunteer for trail work..
