There was only two of us tonight as it was not a GORC event . We rode 13.70 miles this evening . Over half was on the MTB trails and the other half was on the Madison County biking system . They have over 100 miles of county trails that used to be rail road tracks that the county acquired . The paved most of them and they are going to be connected to our town by this fall .

Based on the preceding passage, answer the following question Why is so much work being put into the tracks ?
The town is looking to improve the surroundings .
