I will definitely visit and share your web site address and information. I firmly believe that
small grassroots groups can accomplish great things if determined enough.
Some of my neighbors and I are just learning the "ropes" of government
bureaucracy and are trying our hardest to combat knee-jerk "increase the
tax-base" urban sprawl and the utter destruction we have witnessed in only 10
years of mountain bikes on single track trails in our state parks (most of
these trails were created by deer and are now wide enough to take a Hummer
through!). Per Dept. of Environmental Quality staff, the Red-tailed hawks
that were plentiful at Holly Recreation area only 5 years ago have completely
disappeared from the area now that the trails are used exclusively by people
on mountain bikes (most other users have also been displaced since the bikers
took over. The main reason; they don't want to get run over by a bike
traveling at speeds of 25 MPH or more). To me this is an abomination. The
mountain bikers around here know me well. Often times on their BB they will
say things like "the wrath of Rachel". The best kind of compliment! At
least I am getting their attention :) Best of luck to you. Let me know if
you need any help from people in … Michigan.
