This came to my attention from our friends at Big Bend Trails Alliance.
The National Parks Service will be performing an Environmental Assessment for the development of multi-use trail (including cycling) in Big Bend National Park. While this is only for a short (5mi) section, it may help us get a foot in the door.
IMBA has called for an Action Alert regarding this and has several suggested talking points.

The comment period is open until 4/2/11
Please take a moment, review IMBA's talking points and submit your comments:
