CBaron Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I read through that article and it was just a "down listing" suggestion, not a de-listing from it's endangered status. That said, I'm cool with us not getting access to Forest Ridge again (and I was around back when it was open). IMHO it just too hot of a location and could be used as a lightning rod against us in a bigger picture scenario. I'd much rather see us get some kind of access to other areas of BCP area where we could establish partnership with all stakeholders for a longer term useage. The basic area northward of Emma Long area alll way up to 620 I belive has somethng like 1200 acreas of BCP land that at one time may have had access discussions taking place. But all this stuff moves at a glacial pace and IMHO the process is designed to wear down those that participate. It's almost a designed-in defense mechanism of the system. I say this as someone who attended all the necessary events of this process back when it all kicked off in 1998 and beyond...

AustinBike Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 In a state where ~95% of all land is privately held, I've given up on expecting that we'll be getting much new trail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The one thing I miss about California (18 years ago) was the trail systems. My place in Irvine was right on the Mountains to Sea trail. I could ride a hundred miles and see maybe two blocks of tarmac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
