Bikies, The Isthmus has a great article today on the looming ATV takeover of the Badger State Trail, which will ultimately connect to the Capitol City Trail.
http://www.thedailypage.com/isthmus/article.php?article=8444 One section in particular from this article smacked me right in the gut: --- Last January, about 40 ATV users and other motorsports enthusiasts showed up at an organizing meeting of Friends of the Badger State Trail, paid $15 individual membership dues, and elected their own to a majority on the board. Sullivan was replaced as interim president by Craig Schmidt, who heads the Monroe Stateline Trailblazers snowmobile club. Don Noble, owner of a small engine repair shop in Monroe and president of the Green County ATV Club, was also elected to the group's board. "I wouldn't say we showed up in overwhelming numbers, but we showed more interest in the trail [than bicyclists]," says Noble. --- We REALLY need to get on the ball at the next organizational meeting of the Friends of the Badger State Trail and defend the quality of this trail for bicyclists. I am looking to build a list of contacts for this project. If you are interested in participating, or if you know people who might help me helpful in building my contact list, please shoot me an e-mail with the appropriate information.
