snip crap

Jeez is it time for fall reruns already?!!!

California, got to love it. What is it out there that attracts all these
nuts like MV? All this crap just to create a trail through the forest,
(reasonable probability of impact, due to soil stability and erosion,
archeological sensitivity, endangered species habitat, hydrology, water
quality and proximity to streams, dust generation, traffic and
circulation, etc.). I especially like the "archeological sensitivity", read
that as "you must keep out, because there just could be an arrowhead lying
around somewhere".

I'm glad the deer in my area enjoy our single track as much as the bikers
do, I had to wait for two to get off the trail this week as they were using
it to get between feeding places. They just stepped off the trail a few
feet, stood and watched until I passed.

Fairfax, CA

Jim Jacobsen, president of Bicycle Trails Council of Marin (BTCM's
corporation status was revoked by the California Franchise Tax Board and
the
Secretary of State) has made false statements under penalty of perjury.

In a declaration in support of convicted criminal mountain bike race
promoter
and co-founder of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, Christopher H. Lang
(Jacobsen is also on MCBC's advisory board), Jacobsen stated the following
on
September 3, 2002:

"I, James E. Jacobsen, decla
I am the president of the Bicycle Trails Council of Marin, and have been
the
target of repeated attacks by Ms. Alvillar, in public meetings, in the
press,
and on the web. Working with the property owner, I designed and created a
bicycle trail system in Camp Tamarancho the Boy Scout Camp near Fairfax.
In
opposing this project, Ms. Alvillar has called me a criminal and has
publicly
and repeatedly stated that I have caused great environmental damage.
Marin
County Public Works, Regional Water Quality Control Board and California
Fish
and Game have viewed this project and do not support Ms. Alvillar's claims
about environmental damage. She has also accused me of building
unauthorized trails in Marin County, and has spread rumors disparaging my
character and accused me of committing illegal acts. Ms. Alvillar targets
bicycle advocates in her attacks such as myself and Christopher Lang. I
declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
/s/
James E. Jacobsen"

On September 7, 2001, Marin County Public Works wrote a 3-page letter to
the
owners of Camp Tamarancho regarding "Camp Tamarancho Grading Permit
Violation, Grading Permit Application for Hiking/Bicycling Trails" saying,
"The Department of Public Works (DPW) and reviewing agencies have examined
the application which you submitted to remedy your outstanding grading
permit
violation and have determined that it is complete. The next step in the
process is compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
this is required before a grading permit can be issued...Based on the
information on file for the project and field inspections by staff, our
Environmental Coordinator has determined pursuant to CEQA Section 15300,
that
there is a reasonable probability of impact, (due to soil stability and
erosion, archeological sensitivity, endangered species habitat, hydrology,
water quality and proximity to streams, dust generation, traffic and
circulation, etc.). Therefore, the project cannot be exempted from
environmental review and will require an Initial Study. Because of the
complexity of issues which must be addressed and the unavailability of DPW
staff, the Initial Study will need to be prepared by an Environmental
Consultant retained by the County at your expense. Should the outcome of
the
study demonstrate that there are no significant environmental effects
which
cannot be mitigated, the County will be able to issue a Negative
Declaration
for your project. You should also be aware that, depending on the outcome
of
the Initial Study and the facts presented in the environmental review
process, a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) could also be required."

Boy Scouts of America, Marin Council, told DPW they wanted to hire their
own
environmental consultant to do an Initial Study but they have not done so
to
date. The truth remains that Jacobsen and his cohorts have built 9 miles
of
illegal trails, having obtained no permits for excavation, tree felling,
bridge building, construction in Stream Conservation Areas, destruction of
rock outcroppings, etc.

Jim Jacobsen has lied under oath.

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.)

For real? I will NEVER ride my MTB again!

As a mass murderer currently planning my escape from Death Row, I
wholeheartedly endorse MTB's. I was a peace loving Buddhist monk until
that
fateful day I first sat astride a MTB. The next thing I knew, I was
running
down innocent children and Bambi. In my defense, Bambi was a pure
accidental hit as I was focused on creaming a covey of quail when Bambi
just jumped in front of my MTB as I was just cruising along at a
reasonable
pace of Mach 2.

Hey was that you I saw the other day on the trail with spiked tires, a
defoliant tank and sprayer rigged under the seat, riding along with a chain
saw slashing away at all that unruly habitat? We'll have to get together and
ride some time.

I've started putting little hashmarks on my downtube to denote all the
innocent creatures I've crushed in my years of riding Everyone should do
this. Obviously all us MTB'er are out to institute some post-Armageddon
like disaster on every inch of wilderness known to man. The downtube
hashmarks will allow us to pick out the true veterans among us. Sort of
like the old bombers in WWII. You could tell the crew that wreaked the most
destruction just by looking at their craft.

Double points if someone rides over Mikey V's flower beds.....
