I think we're all disappointed but maybe we should shift focus of this discussion to the other proposed possible sites in UC that may incorporate mountain biking. I honestly thing we truly need more people, if 700 bikers showed up at the meetings it would have made quite an impression. Now that there's signs up saying no mtb there it's drawing attention to everyone even those that don't even know it exists that it's illegal there, maybe that new awareness can be used to bring out budding mtber's and also those that don't have any clue about the politics involved to GET involved with this? I was upset, I was angry about the decision but I try to hear all sides and sure mtb use has impact as do other activities but since we're the new kids on the block I guess we take a backseat to other trail uses. In Florida where I vacation there are many parks with mtb trails that DO NOT allow walkers or horses, not that I've ever seen an mtb user get upset with a hiker but the trails are just so rolling and steep it's nearly impossible to walk on them anyways. Being into mtb's since the early 90's I can at least say things have gotten MUCH better than they were, not just access but the quality of the trails as well. So does anyone know the other possibilities in UC for mtb access?
