Hi, I'm planning a trip this winter - would like to shuttle or lift access. Can you suggest a location in Mexico to look at?

Dragon Mtn Rocks! One of my favourit natural trails around. Off camber, roots, rocks, slick as shite in the wet. If your on a road trip from points north (PG) to Willys, you should really check out Dragon for a shuttle or two! Keep up the good work! See ya next season!

Cheers to Race Face! I personally am tired of the business model that does not promote competition and good business practices. When several bike shops can apply pressure on the distributer to not sell to their competitor because the competitor is selling below MSR this reeks of price fixing in my mind. What if the competition has a business model that allows them to give excellent and knowledgeable service, still make good margins and pass along savings to the consumer? I support good bike shops and service and don't mind paying a little more for that service but to say every joe blow who fell off the turnip truck has the right to make as much money in a business that is not run as efficiently as their competition due to a "level playing field" goes against my beliefs of competition and capitalism. Should the consumer pay the price for lack of competition? Bike shops like to play the discount game based on who you are, how much they think you are willing to pay and making the sale - why can the consumer not have the ability to find the best combination of service and price that they require? Business that find efficiencies within rather than passing the cost on to their customers will survive in the long run. Another thing - HST will change it in BC but how many consumers are still paying PST on bike parts??? check this out to see if you too have been eroneously charged Provincial Sales Tax: http://www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/documents_library/bulletins/sst_001.pdf

As a club member currently in the middle of this process, I support it. It took the relocation of a golf course, loss of trails and threat to lose more to get us organized. We are still in a state of uncertainty with some of the golf course land. Had we been organized and recognized our trail network before the relocation, we probably would not have had as many obstacles. I encourage you to dig in, talk to your local District Recreation Officer to see how you can go about it. When talking about Crown land, if someone else beats you to the punch then you'll be losing an uphill battle trying to save it (and snivelling a whole bunch!) It's been a lot of work (over 2 years) but in the face of the alternative... Hopefully some of the ground work has been done and future initiatives will be quicker through the gate. Or, you can just be free and keep riding - but when you lose your trails, you'll really be free - to go somewhere else.

Keep up the good work! It gets a little tuff to take the "You know what you should do comments" that perpetually come but keep going - you know the effort and sacrifice you've made to protect the interests of those who only ride & critisize. At a recent Trails Strategy Open House, put on by the province of BC, (their strategy for multi use trails & their vision of a World Class Trails System)the moto users couldn't figure out the concept that if you organize & use the system to legitimize then you don't have to fight to keep something after it is already gone??? Hmmmmm...
