  I'm glad you brought this up.  I'm posting this back so everyone can
see my observations.  On the lower end of the American River bike
trail, the horse trail runs very close to the paved bike trail.  This
is the trail betwen Del Paso, Northgate, and Old Sac.  The horse
trail, of course, is marked no bikes.    I was willing to live with
this logic that mountain bikes could do worse damage until the end of
last summer.

  At the end of last summer, believe it or not, the horse trail was
BULL-Dozed (sp?)   Yes, a big cat tractor came in and made the horse
trail very wide, and very flat.  The tractor took out trees, shrubs,
etc..  

Somebody please tell me how they can claim mountain bikes are bad, but
use bulldozers to widen the trail for horses?
