It's interesting--at Chino Hills State Park we all manage to get along just fine. There are way more mountain bikes than hikers or riders, and the bikes yield so graciously. It's a pleasure to train there.

It's not forested, so we can often see them coming--it's very hilly though and we can still be surprised. Unfortunately the state will not allow us to have an endurance ride there, because they're afraid we're racers and will hurt the mtn bikers/hikers. They do allow a NATRC event to occur there.

Dear Board Member Wieskamp,

I am deeply troubled to learn that the East Bay Regional
Park District's Board of Directors is yielding to pressure
from the mountain biking lobby to allow bicycles on a
limited number of its trails.  Here, in Marin County, where
this aggressive, destructive sport began mountain bikes
have never been allowed on hiking trails.  In an effort to
be fair and accommodating, mountain cyclists were given
access to approximately 100 miles of the fire protection
roads that lace our state parks, open space district, and
water district.  The consequences of that ill-fated decision
have been disastrous!
