Land Closure Forum . . . you should be doing your part

[Canadian Dave]

I want to make sure that everyone is aware of the land closure forum and insure that everyone is visiting it often. This is your chance to make a difference and ultimately keep public lands open for public use.

Here's a perfect example-

Thanks Dave!!!

I have been a frequent visitor to the Land forum for about a month and it's more fun than I thought. I have met a few other folks that I wouldn't have chatted with before and have fired off over 2 dozen email replys for the letters to keep the Black River Falls area open to bikes.

I'm hoping that we do some good and keep areas open.

I even changed my sig from the normal smart a** line to something more important. (not that being a smart a** isn't important to me anymore..:confused:

The below link was in the 'Places to Ride' forum, but could also have been in the land closure/protect your rights forum. If you are in or near Northern Cal, this is a good chance to actually do some work to keep some trails open. There is a link within the link for more information on the work party.

One of the best methods to help fight land closures is to join a local club (or two) and get involved. Riding and racing every weekend is not the way to get involved in the sport. To keep these areas open to recreational and competitive trail riding ,trail maintenence and meeting with those who have the final say as to when and if we ride in anyone particular area.(D.E.M., D.E.P., B.L.M. When trails erode due to lack of maintence it doesn"t look good for us.

In my opinion you are not a true dirtbiker until you get invovled. You can't just take, you have to give back to our sport and do the work necessary to keep the trails open. Sometimes it means sucking up to State officials who don't have a clue or spending a weekend with a shovel and pick ax.

Sorry for rambling. I just have this thing with people who only want to ride and let everyone else do the work. Dan J.
