Hah, good one Robert!

Same is true of the foothills using dog owners. Once again, many contributors on the mayor’s hotline against the foothills leash law gave addresses far from the foothills. Some even admitted to driving all the way to the foothills to run their dogs. What a waste!

My dog stays in my fenced yard. My bike has been driven to a ride, the fantastic Bogus downhill via the ridge road and trail 33, only twice in 15 years. I ride my bike to where my bike is.

Biker’s. I happen to stop in at Avimors the weekend of the bike race. Just to see what was going on up there.
Got to admit I was a bit surpised at the people who were there. Big gas guzzling SUV and 4×4 pickups every where. Why did I think it would be a croud that would be more intune to the environment. Bet they out numbered the small rigs 3 to 1. Guess I’m out of step. One has to drink a bunch of gas to go ride your bike.

Frank Martin of Hidden Springs fame also used to sponsor Mtn Biking events as a way to drum up interest in his subdivision. As the place built out, the race support stopped. And the desire to sell more and more houses has resulted in former cycling trails being covered by foundations and patios.

Supporting cycling is nice. Building subdivisions close enough to actually commute to work from is better.

Editor – if “to be fair” is truly your goal, look into the recent 6th Annual Coyote Classic mountain bike race hosted (on the property) and sponsored by the same Developer. Not a bad contribution to the biking community, and maybe one that you will deem more appropriate. I doubt it though…you deem very little to be appropriate unless is furthers your narrow minded views.

EDITOR NOTE–Fair enough…there I go again using that word! Gotta admit the GUARDIAN was up front with blatant developer bashing on this one with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
