From MB Action October 2003 edition.......A letter in the Trailgrams from
Keith
Rossow from Durango Colorado

IF YOU DON'T LIVE HERE
----------------------------------------

I reside in Durango, Colorado, and our trails are starting to look like LA
freeways. I read Durango made your top ten places to live (MBA May 2003).
Great, just what we need! We can't "escape" the mobs of people here
inundating
our trails. Sometimes I wonder if I should just sell my Intense Tracer
and use
the money for a shrink. I had to write to you folks because my family
thinks
I'm going crazy.

Boo hoo! Unless that land is posted no tresspassing or no bikes allowed,
TOUGH! Those trails are for everyone to enjoy!

So there aren't any little-used trails near you that you'd like to keep that
way? Just because something isn't public doesn't always mean it should be
publicized. Especially for the readers of ridiculous magazines.

Unfortunatley, there are few areas to ride in NW PA to begin with, let alone
areas that are little known to others. Why hide them, people are going to find
them anyway?

As a matter of fact, there is a bike shop near me that has cut a total of 15
miles of single track at a local reservoir. I heard stories about this and
decided to call the shop. The owner was very reluctant to tell me anything
about it. The point is, sooner or later someone is going to find out about
them. If the shop owner wouldn't have given me such an attitude about it, I may
not have done this, but, after finding the trails on my own, I came home and
promptly posted them to MTBreview.com.
