Fellow riders,
Seems we
are losing places to ride faster than ever. Meetings with the FOREST
SERVICE and the BLM one on one or at the club level doesn’t seem to
have as much influence as it used too. Enter COHVCO, the BlueRibbon
Coalition and AMA. All of these organizations can and do help us with land
use issues all the time. Even though sometimes we don’t see or here
about what they are doing, let me assure you they are there doing
everything they can do for use. These organizations only exist financially
because of individual memberships and donations. I have talked to many
riders that say, what can I do to help? JOIN THESE ORGANIZATIONS! That will
help. How much do we spend on a Sunday ride, $30, $40, $50 or more? Gas for
the bike, gas for the truck, lunch, a new pair of gloves? We’re
almost to $100 now. You can join all three of these organizations for less
than $100 for a whole year. Very cheap considering we may not have places
to ride if we don’t ALL support the organizations that FIGHT FOR OUR
RIGHT TO RIDE.
Don't
wait and tell your grandchildren you should have joined, TELL THEM TO JOIN
TOO.
Here are
the links to all three. Colorado

About the CMTRA
For over 30 years we
have been active in trail maintenance of Colorado
motorcycle trails in the Pikes Peak and Southern
Colorado region. We actively work with Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management to help maintain multi-use trails and keep these
trails open. Also through the State Trails Program we obtain grants that
are used toward Colorado
motorcycle trail maintenance.
Currently, we are
actively involved with mapping, signing and maintaining the Captain Jacks
Trail System and are in the planning stages with the Forest Service in
rebuilding the 717 Colorado
motorcycle trails burned by the Hayman fire this past summer.
We feel our active
involvement is critical to keeping our Colorado motorcycle trails open.
We also do plenty of
riding, so please join us!
