National Forest Service Travel Management Plan Meetings this week
If you are not aware of it yet the National Forest
Service has released their Environmental Assessment
for Travel Management on the Sandia Ranger District.
You may access it online at:
http://www.fs. fed.us/r3/ cibola/travel- management/ tm_sandia/ index.shtml
The National Forest Service will also be holding two
meetings for public input on the plan:
Wednesday the 20th of February starting at 6pm at
Roosevelt Middle School in Tijeras.
Thursday the 21st of February at 6pm at the UNM
continuing ed center, 1634 University Blvd, which is
the building where they have been in the past, north
of Indian school.
While their current proposal for managing motorized
travel bans motorized use in La Madera Canyon they
plan on allowing ATV use on the Cedro Singletrack, as
well as Lone Pine in the Cedro area.
If this concerns you, as it does me, then please come
out to these meetings and make your concerns heard.
The NFS also has alternate proposals, number four of
which was decided FOO supports at our last general
meeting. This alternative limits ATV use to existing
forest roads, while still allowing for motorcycle use
on singletrack trails.
I hope to see you at either of the public meetings. If
you do not have the time to come out and make our
voice heard you may also send your comments by e-mail
to:
comments-southweste rn-cibola@ fs.fed.us
You have thirty days from the public notice being
printed in the Albuquerque Journal to submit your
written comment, unfortunately I have no idea when
this notice was printed.
The date on the release of the EA was 1/28/08.
Lets keep singletrack single!!!!

Details:
Our work day will be taking place next Saturday December 15th, at White Mesa. Meet in the parking lot at 9am. Thanks for the many of you that have responded.
I don't expect that it will be nearly as laborious as our last White Mesa outing, but big numbers would be helpful given that we are going to address a couple of areas, and hopefully scout out some trail ideas to propose. Please bring whatever trail tools you can get your hands on.
Trail work is always a great time, and it one of the ways that we can show our appreciation for the access to the amazing riding we have in our backyard.
Hopefully must of us can stick around to ride afterwards.

Great South Foothills Trailwork Day!! |
|
Posted by: tlj on 12/03/2006 20:27:56

We had over 17 people show up to help out on the trail today. It turned out to be an excellent day to work. The sun was out, the temps were bearable, and the wind didn't really pick up until we were done.
We ended up laying some retaining walls, rock enforced sections of the trail, and water run off areas. Lots of work, in fact, we didn't quite finish everything we had hoped to do, but the majority of the work is complete!
We started out the morning with Open Space folks Jodi Hedderig and Jim Sattler pointing out the areas where we'd be working along the trail. Joshua Willis joined us later, so we had 3 Open Space people guiding us as we worked along the trail.
If you haven't already ridden the new work, take some time to head out and roll through the trail. You'll be pleasantly surprised with our work!
Many thanks to the members who came out to help (please let me know if I left you out): Randy, Kim, Jim W, Bettina, Dave, Denise, Jens, Chris B, Mike P, Dan, Erik, Walt, Jay, John M, Tom M, Rich, and me, Jeni.
Here's a link to more pics from the day. |
