Dafydd Davis - A Pioneer in Trail Planning and Design, based out of Wales 162 Dafydd might be the most impactful mountain bike trail planners and designer period. His thoughtful approach to trail planning and design has resulted in trail experiences that were decades ahead of their time in Wales, which eventually spread throughout the world.
