The "parks" that are generally closed to mountain bikes are managed by the National Park Service, not the BLM. The BLM does manage some National Monuments, in particular, those created for political and legacy-building purposes by the past President, and those tend to be fairly restrictive too. But trails on most BLM lands are generally open to mountain biking, unless the land has a special designation such as Wilderness or National Monument. The NPS has a completely different mandate than multiple-use land management agencies, the FS & BLM. Of course, the President needs to sign any Wilderness bills that are passed by Congress (hmmm, any of THOSE in the works?). And President Bush hasn't been going nuts with the Antiquities Act like Slick did. Nick Danger, Third Eye |

On one hand, it's a great example of an active lifestyle for an older guy with a bad knee. On the other, well, did I say it's a good example for Boomers to stay active? Matt |

I really hope those mtn bikers that have contact with the President are lobbying him for better trail access. Greg |

"Sal Ruibal is a 51-year-old sportswriter for USA TODAY who has covered
the Tour de France six times and ridden most of the Tour's mountain passes. He is an experienced mountain bike racer who finished fifth in the Masters category at the 2002 World Championships of 24-Hour Solo Mountain Biking." That just goes to show that racing doesn't have jack shiite to do with mountain biking. The President doesn't race, yet he whipped that reporter's ass. JD |

(Whole point of the article was "you don't pass the Prez".) To me, it DOES add some credence to the piece that the author is actually an experienced rider, and not just some fairly fit reporter who got an invite to tag along or something. When this guy says that W rides at a pretty strong pace, it likely means just that. Cool. |
