Public comments are due May 31, 2012, on Flathead National Forest proposals for new downhill fee-ride mountain bike trails and races!
We've asked the Flathead to keep all new free-ride bike trails confined to the developed portions of Big Mountain and to redirect all mountain bike race proposals there. This would keep thrill-seeking, high-speed biking and its inevitable conflicts with wildlife and other trail users from spreading across the Forest.
Please send a quick email to comments-northern-flathead-tally-lake@fs.fed.us today! Comments are due May 31, 2012.
You can read our comment letter here, which includes accounts of bikers being mauled or rammed by wildlife!
You can read about the Flathead's proposal for another high-speed downhill mountain bike trail on Big Mountain here.
You can read about the Flathead's proposal to authorize mountain bike racing elsewhere on the Tally Lake Ranger District here.
Please take a few moments and send that email NOW!
