Politics and Riding - Trail advocacy

Looks like a winning year. After 3 years of fighting for their rights and their trails it looks like the movement paid off. Riders united do in fact have a voice.

That's awesome. I hope that the mtb'ers of Tulsa can do the same. Apparently, according to my LBS, Turkey Mountain may be closed as an MTB trail. They're building some swank condos there and the developers/council members/potential residents don't want MTB type people near their places. I do hope the MTB community will stand up and do the same.

It's always nice to see that sort of thing. Props to everyone who contributed to that cause.

Our new City Manager used to work at a LBS, and is a trails advocate as well.

New Jersey politics... didn't your governor, James McGreevey, give a high paying job to his male friend; emphasis on the corruption.

HeHe, he actually said "I'm resigning because I'm gay american."
