[pct-l] C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S / And the Mountain Bike problem

[Craig Giffen]

This is a safety issue.  I have been riding mountain bikes since the late 80's and I do not want hikers on the same trails that I ride on and vice versa.  This is also the reason private ski areas separate mountain bike trails from hiking trails, that or make their mountain bike trails one way only.  They want to avoid collisions, be it hiker/biker or biker/biker.

The admin is blocking mountain bike posts because they were becoming a huge distraction to the list six months ago, causing people to unsubscribe.  This moderation has occurred for many other heated threads that became a distraction, not just mountain bikes.

If you object to this, please feel free to create your your own PCT email list as you see fit.  The Sharing the PCT Facebook page is a great place to start too.
