Hi All

I am writing this has the IMBA rep for part of Oregon.

I talked with Dennis this morning and he is VERY worried because many other user groups have commented on this plan, but there has been zero imput from Mt Bike groups, clubs, races or even people. He is very worried they will be left out in the end. If you live down there and care about trail access and possible future trails please contact him.

Randy,

Nice talking with you this morning. Below is a link to the BLM's website
regarding the WOPR.

"During the next 90 days, I hope you’ll take the time to review this draft
Environmental Impact Statement and send us your ideas and suggestions
regarding this proposed revision of our resource management plans,....."
BLM State Director.

We really need the Mt. Biking communities help in this planning process.
If there is anyone you know who could get involved please give them my name
and number (or Trish Lindaman 618-2266, so that we can get them a draft
copy of the EIS. All the local BLM offices (Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Grants
Pass, and Medford) will have copies and would be happy to speak to anyone
regarding WOPR questions. The draft is also downloadable via the link
below but remember that it is a large file. Over 16 pages.

Remember you are already a week into the 90 comment period!!!!
