By the time they theoretically "could open"
Ownership will have been transferred
And the new owner doesn't see mountain biking as something that is
"profitable"

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

I have no doubt they will get some of their friends to get bikes.
Pretty soon we'll be going on group rides
and such.

actually, siskuwihane and i named a few local trails. one is called
the vanderloop because it goes in circles like most of mikey's
rhetoric. The other is called the Vander Downhill. As the name says,
like Mikey's posts the trail continues to go downhill.
