IT'S BIKE TO WORK DAY TODAY...SO DO IT.

And be sure to lock it up so it does not get ripped off.

On the local news front, there was a town meeting in Eagle last night that NONE of you were present at which was addressing the possibility of closing down the access road (to motor vehicles) to Redneck Ridge due to the problems that some dirt bikers, atv drivers and truck drivers are causing in the Bluffs subdivision. Sounds primarily like the agro kids and an angry atv users may be the culprits. The Board of trustees elected to not close access for the time being and evaluate the situation. They've asked law enforcement to monitor the area a little more diligently while solutions are contemplated. The crowd was actually quite reasonable with some great feedback from all sides and we should be able to figure out a solution as a community.
A WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL CYCLISTS.
A couple of speakers brought up the fact that they are concerned with cyclists up on Redneck Ridge (aka the Boneyard) not being very visible during hunting season because of the choice of earth toned colored clothing. I found this pretty alarming and spoke on behalf of all cyclist everywhere during hunting seasons when I stood and proclaimed (I'm a hunter as well) that we have a huge problem if hunters are not disinguishing their targets 100% before even considering pulling the trigger. At the same time, I have always tried to wear very bright colored clothing while mountain biking in hunting country in the fall, I suggest you all do as well to avoid any "accidents" in the fiture.
