NW Cyclist

Ron-

Thanks for the heads up on this & keeping the cycling community informed on
such events. To Everyone, if you can't be there it is very important to
send an email to let your voices be heard. The City government realizes not
everyone can make it on a specific night/time so email is the next best
thing, they really do read them and take them into consideration.

On 4-20-2010 there is a meeting where many local (Portland metro) mountain bikers showing their faces and maybe voicing their desires would be very good. The meeting is going to be conveniently located at the
Holiday Inn Express
2333 NW Vaughn
Portland
It will be from 5:30 - 7:30 PM on 4-20....a Tuesday eve.
If you enjoy riding off road check out the information on the www.nw-trail.org/ . Look at the "Forest Park Single Track Cycling Advisory Committee" Open House article for details (click on read more to read the whole article). They want input from the public about putting more single track in the park. So go figure riders. We are getting an opportunity to let our voices be heard. You know that voices "against" mores single track for cyclists will make sure there voices are heard. The local off road cycling culture has a chance to be adult and go through the proper process to let our needs be made clear to the City government who control the park. If you cannot be at the meeting you could email your comments. But please read the article so our voice has some type of consistency. Info cards were being handed out at Horning's today. They had a brief idea of email content and the email addresses of Commissioner Nick Fish, Director of Parks Zari Santer, Dr. of Singletrack Comm. Emily Roth. It asked you cc Tom Archer at NWTA ( tom@nw-trails.org ) Lets do what we can to make this happen. If I can help, email me off list. I have one of the info cards and can give you info, or you probably can get it from Tom.
Thanks,
