The rumors are running rampant, so let me clarify a few things.

Yes, I am having a problem obtaining a permit to do the Descanso  
Ride.  Even though the State has been unable to produce a regulation,  
after years of doing the Descanso Ride in Cuyamaca State Park, the  
the Cuyamaca Ride and Tie for over 20 years, the State is now taking  
the position that we cannot have an event in the park if time and  
competition is involved.  This would also affect the NATR ride which  
is held there.  I am pursuing it further so don't count us out yet.

As to Manzanita and Warner Springs, this would not affect either of  
those events.  Manzanita is on BLM land, and AERC has a very good  
working relationship with that agency.  Warner Springs is held on  
private land, and some federal forest land, so that also would not be  
affected.

I will keep you posted and will let know if some sort of campaign is  
going to be launched to attempt to sway the park service to see the  
light.
