Fellow Mountain Bikers,
Bike access for the George Washington National Forest is threatened, and we need you to write letters NOW, by Jan. 27, to ensure we can continue to enjoy this world class mountain biking area. I've posted the details on the Virginia Bicycling Federation website:
http://www.vabike.org/support-bicycle-access-george-washington-national-forest/
We've given you an example letter to write, but if you have other ideas about why biking in the GW is important, feel free to express those too.
As fellow VBF board member Chris points out, just a few hundred letters can turn the tide on this one. With all the mountain bikers in VA and WV, we should easily be able to accomplish this. Chris is also our Virginia state representative to IMBA, and a major evangelist for mountain biking ino our state. He works hard on these matters on all our behalf, so let's not let him down.
Please pass the word to your mailing lists, mention it on your blogs, and share it in social media (Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, StumbleUpon, etc.)
And please, write a letter yourself!
