Wish I could get out there this weekend being as Im just a ferry ride away. Damn adult responsibilities. Some one want to take care of the honey do list and a 3yr old???

ugh. I grew up literally living on the paradise valley trails since 93... I just find it a shame that these types of places are torn down, only to be replaced by 18 holes... And thank goodness for Evergreen Mtb, I need to join and become way more involved with their system.

I cannot understand why this of all the places is being torn down. What's next, Duthie, St Ed's, Paradise Valley, Burke Gilman? There is an unwritten contract between cyclist and the state as soon as you put your tires to the dirt there. I have been injured on several trails through the years and not once have I blamed the state for my stupidity or inability to ride something. Makes me sad to see this in my own state, I thought we were hearty outdoorsman. Doubt this will stop the riding on the trails there though. I remember when they closed paradise valley for 3-4 years, that did not stop people from riding those trails, maybe the building, but not the riding.
