You could probably write a letter and send it along with someone so it gets in the record.

[jcampbell]

I am going to try and make this.

I believe there will be a large show of support at this meeting.

We will be there.

[RacinJason]

I wish I could make it I and getting hammered with work.

[OMR]

I plan on being there... absolutely!!! Let's have an STR show of force. This is your chance to be heard regarding the use of this important biking park. Don't sit on the sidelines and hope that somebody else shows up.

Thank you Gene

Ill be there. I heard from my hero Gabe Zinc that the first B was filled in with a layer of dirt from a landfill or something making it unclimbable and stinky. I would like to know why this was done.. I finally was able to get up it and they do this what the huck man. Even Nam made it up all three once...

[J_Sims]

Some of us went to the meeting in South OC a couple of months ago ... I will be out of town for this one though...

[Wrecker]

John will be going to this one as well. Last time he and HoosierDaddy were the only ones to attend--PLEASE support mtbers by attending if you can (or send someone to attend like I do)

It's my understanding that the equestrians and others will be attending; so, if you don't want them to overtake useage/close trails/etc, you need to speak up!

PS This was also in my SHARE post

I have school and can't make this one, but like the others are saying... Please go to this meeting and show some support, if no MTBers show up then they think we are not interested in keeping the trails open to MTBing. Now is your time to get involved, don't think "well, somebody else will be there" because if everyone thinks that, then no one will show up. Please take a couple hours out of your life and try and make a difference! Do it now, before it's too late. When they start closing parks to MTBing and THEN you say wow, I wish there was something I could have done. Take action now, not later!

[CPATCRASH]

I'm going to miss this one due to work. Hope there is a big MTB community turn out like the last few of them.

[Schecky]

I'll be there.

Rode Oaks last night, and holy sh-t, what a disaster the place is becoming. The first B looks like it's been carpet-bombed (don't know whether this is just the first phase of work on it, but right now it's destroyed and unclimbable). Also made my first trip down the rerouted Goat/Waterfall. I can't remember ever seeing such a poorly thought-out, and flat-out dangerous, trail. Also, the gate was closed at the top of the third B (is that thing new?), and the bypass to the right was locked, so you gotta dismount to complete the climb. Then there's the sandbox that the upper Barham Ridge singletrack has been made into ...

I'll definitely be at the meeting.

Anyone up for a pre-meeting ride Saturday afternoon (after the clean up at Trabuco)? I haven't riden there since the Bike N Beers.

I could be up for that. We should be done by noon unless after lunch we continue to clean up Trabuco. You going to be at Trabuco also? We should post a ride, sort of a Santiago Oaks trail assessment ride.
