I'd love to see some strategic long trail development. There is already so much to work with - having some connectors and unwinding some of the stacked loops to be longer, and connect disparate or distant trail systems would be great.
I'm not a fan of riding in circles all day... (although I do it on occasion).
Theres some effort happening in VT to create the XVT from CA to MA, dirt road, single track, snowmobile trail, etc. Would love to see something like that in the ADKs.
And, it will no doubt rub against the 'wilderness' issue.
I get it, some people think bikes do not belong... but I don't think herd paths and parking lots belong either. And I'm not interested in riding my bike to the top of Marcy... but skirting through the valleys or nearby ridges on specific, developed trails to connect interesting towns and places would be fantastic.
