High School Mountain Bike Racing

"The number-one challenge is finding (and keeping) suitable race
venues". The "keeping" part is probably about me getting the race at
Walker Creek (Marin County) cancelled, due to its inappropriate use of
pristine woodland! Too bad they can't see that the difficulty in
finding someone willing to subect their land to such abuse is
precisely due to mountain biking (ESPECIALLY mountain bike RACING)
being environmentally destructive! DUH!

Hi All:

As follow-on to Henri's post....here's maybe the one, the only, the
last chance local cyclists will get to influence the allowed uses of
the East Garrison Day Camp (henceforth known as the Youth Camp). I'd
suggest a careful read of the Mission Statement (attached) and think
about how we can contribute to the cycling part of their mission.

As far as the NorCal League goes, the number-one challenge is finding
(and keeping) suitable race venues. If you believe that cycling is a
worthwhile activity, believe that youth competitive athletics is an
essential component of a complete education, then you need to be there
to help support not just the cause of riding trails on the property,
but racing.

Keep in mind that Michael J. Vandeman admitted to cutting down trees
for his own selfish pleasures.

They Can't find someone williing to destroy their land? They should
talk to some tree cutters like you.
