[pct-l] Forest Service to consider allowing Mtn Bikes on the PCT

[Ryan Christensen]

I need to hear from the PCTA or the Forest Service that there is indeed a potential rulemaking procedure in the works before I can truly believe this. 


However, I was disturbed to read this on the mtbr form:

"The second very helpful thing would be to contact one board member 
(assuming that's all you have time for) of the Pacific Crest Trail 
Association (Pacific Crest Trail Association - Home) and talk with him/her about the value of including mountain bikers in 
the PCT trail community. The PCTA is conservative; the staff are opposed to bicycles on the trail, and that is the group's official policy. But 
it's the PCTA board that sets the policy. Some of the board members 
might be willing to change the policy. Here's a link to the board 
members:

Pacific Crest Trail Association"

Are there really PCTA board members who would vote to change the policy of the PCTA and allow bicycles on the PCT?

I hope not!

As a result, the Forest Service is going to begin a rulemaking
procedure, probably in March of 2013, to consider making the
non-Wilderness parts of the PCT multiuse. This will involve public
notice and comment.
