PS...
Got my first ticket, I need stats & other help
before my court date on, get this, April Fools Day...hmmm
If you have any information on newly opened trails, court
records on citations given over certain periods of time, etc...
Please email me, this trail system is very extensive, there is
definetly room for all types of recreation, including the mountain
bike. Hell, let rangers ride there also, I would'nt mind as long as
I could ride without fealing like a hunted animal, not that cool btw.
Sacramento is far too conservative on this, we can change things...
Thanks again, I already have some support, but the more the better,
lets get this on the ballot and really put some documentation behind it.
Ride safe, pick up someone elses trash and enjoy the view, before
they come to take you away, ok or just write you a ticket.
Duane
