I'm certain other organizations such as the NCMBA will follow this issue and voice an opinion but I believe the OBC should also stand up and support their mountain biking membership if trail access is indeed threatened. As the largest cycling club in the region it would be a shame to just stand by and let smaller mountain bike specific clubs take on the NCC alone. Does the OBC have a road specific mandate?

Of course but we can't act on rumours. So we'll wait to see the evidence. Currently, we use the roads as legal users. We get a permit for the Grand Prix so I don't see that changing. MTB trail use is another issue and I wouldn't be surprised to see changes, but other organizations will deal with that. ------------------------------------------------- For list help, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Website: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------------------- For list help, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Website: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------- ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
