Save area trails Montana mountain bikers may find several of the state's best trails off-limits if the Forest Service pushes through with a new directive. The agency wants to limit or prohibit bike access on the Continental Divide Trail, which includes the popular Pipestone Pass to Elk Park Pass ride near Butte, Rogers Pass to Stemple Pass near Great Falls, Lions Head, West Big Hole and the Italian Peaks, Centennial Mountains and others. In all, hundreds of miles of Montana singletrack could be lost if mountain bikers don't make their voices heard. Take Action Your strong voice is essential to saving these important rides along the CDT. The Forest Service's proposal to restrict and prohibit mountain biking has been warmly embraced by some anti-bike groups, who are giving it their full support. All Montana residents are urged to take action: File Comments Formally file your comments with the Forest Service. IMBA's simple form takes seconds and will submit your official comments. The deadline is October 12. Spread the Word Rally your friends and ask them to echo your support for bike access on this outstanding trail. We need thousands of comments to hold out hope for continued access, so forward this to your riding friends across the country. Help Maintain the CDT If you live or play near the CDT, consider organizing or attending trailwork days to help build and maintain this magnificent trail. Learn about volunteer opportunities near you. Donate Can you imagine Montana without signature rides around Butte and Helena and in the West Big Hole? The IMBA Legal Fund needs your financial support. |
