If somebody could post email addresses for the congressional delegation, that would no doubt facilitate more communication of support for NRA designation.

And congrats on the hour record, that is quite an accomplishment.

background info: There is discussion about land usage around Mt. Hood. Federally defined Wilderness typically bans MTB riding. NRA's (national recreation areas) protect Mt. Hood's forests without eliminating MTB riding opportunities. Voice your opinion one way or the other by contacting OR senators and Representatives.

Act Now! Crucial Decisions Will Affect Bike Access on Mount Hood

Oregon residents, IMBA needs you to take action on Sept. 26-27 by making phone calls to Oregon decision makers.

We hope you'll voice your support for National Recreation Areas (NRA's), a bike-friendly form of land protection that prevents development but allows our existing use to continue on Mount Hood.

Let politicians know that they don't have to ban bikes to protect Mount Hood. Unlike federally defined Wilderness, bike-friendly NRA's provide a way to protect Mount Hood's pristine forests without unfairly eliminating mountain biking.

Talking points to consider:

- Please protect Mt. Hood through use of National Recreation Areas for areas with significant mountain biking trails.
- National Recreation Areas provide strong land protections and continued bike access
- NRA aren't new, they?ve been used in more than 25 other states, and for new land protection legislation in Virginia.

Join IMBA's phone campaign on Sept. 26-27, as these are crucial days for determining the future of mountain biking at Mount Hood.

Senator Ron Wyden's Office: 202-224-5244

Senator Gordon Smith's Office: 202-224-3753

Representative Greg Walden's Office: 202-225-6730

Representative Earl Blumenauer's Office: 202-225-4811

Thank you for supporting IMBA.
