Well, the latest is snow. Lots of it. Probably 6-8 inches fell at our place today. Of course, with the warm temps, a lot of it is gone already. There's only about 4 inches out there now. Not a great day for riding...Lots of news lately. First, and foremost, the area Kayakers are throwing down on Sunday March 19 to raise money for the 3rd and final playhole in the Lyons waterpark. This upcoming new hole, the October Hole, is huge for Front Range kayakers. Since the new hole is downstream from a canal, this will offer boating all through the summer. Boater's season out here is usually done by the end of June but the new hole will offer kayakers the chance to play all the way into October! Anyway, I know it's not bikes, but come on out for a great time.
Sunday March 19 starting at 6pm at Oskar Blues. $25 per ticket gets you a live bluegrass jam band, a Cajun buffet, whitewater movies and all sorts of fun. Silent auction, too. They need to raise a bunch of $ so come on out!
Next, in an interesting turn of events, the Federal government is bailing itself out of it's own short sightedness by selling off capital resources to fund rural school districts. Confused? Yes, that's right. Big brother needs dough, so it's selling of chunks of land in OUR (that's right, we own it) very own United States Forests. Check here for more info and here to see exactly where the parcels are. Yes, it stinks like fucking garbage. Sorry for the foul words, but this is the most crap move yet I've seen from the US goverment. Please write your representatives today to explain to them what bullshit this really is.

I've been gathering some info on the whole land for schools deal. I'll be posting some stuff on MTBR probably sometime tomorrow.
The meat of it is: We're getting lied to about this. Its not unmanagable land, some of it is developable land. They want to sell land circling the village of Eldora. In Left Hand Canyon. And worst of all, along Magnolia road eating away at the Dots Trails (sorry for the south Boulder county centric view, but it's what I've read thusfar.)
Anyway, comments are due to the gov't by 3/30. Expect a BMA newsletter about this mext week.
Full moon tonight. I'm going for a night ride and then writing a letter to my congressman while both are still legal. Anyone into it?
