This is why we need to be organized

This is why we need to be organized.

When these opportunities come up we can be heard. Plus if we are better organized, we can have a louder volume with the conservations authorities, land managers, etc.

If we aren't organized, we only have ourselves to blame when MTB "unfriendly" changes happen.

A good turnout from MTBers

I checked with a few folks I know.

IMBA Canada and the Calendon CC was invited to a private workshop before hand.

And there was a large turnout from local MTBers.

This bodes well.

Good work to everyone who attended.

can't argue with that... I simply wanted to point out how big of a joke CVC is. They allowed the destruction of hundreds of decades old trees, shrubs, wetland and homes to plenty of wildlife!!! Don't know what they're trying to regenerate, but it sure as hell ain't nature.
