Hello group,
After several months' worth of reading Mike V's and Terri Avillar's points of view, I have to say
that they finally convinced me...
They've convinced me that pseudo-environmental whack jobs pose a real threat toward access of the
trails we use as mountain bikers.
Today, I finally decided to take action and have joined not only the IMBA, but a local mountain bike
club as well.
Mikey and Terri can rant and rave here all they want, but I've finally decided to put my money where
my mouth is, and send some money to the folks who can make a real difference in the mountain biking
community.
To take it one step further... I've also gone to my LBS and put down a deposit on a 2003 Gary Fisher
Sugar 2+ Disc. A new bike was one of the things I had been considering spending part of my tax
refund on, and they've finally convinced me the time was right to upgrade. I'm giving my old ride,
which was basically one step above a department store bike, to a family member who has expressed a
mild interest in the sport. He's already asked if the rack on my car is capable of carrying two
bikes, and where I go riding.
With any luck, the sport will have found yet another active participant.
So... take a bow Mikey and Terri, not only are your rants directly responsible for increased
memebership in two mountain bike advocacy groups, but they've just sold a $2K+ bike and got someone
else started in the sport.
I know you'll both be proud... ;-)
