Tough to write a presentation without a specific audience in mind. I feel that presentations need to be targetted specifically at the local context. The start is still weak with some clunky arguements. I always try to justify mountain bike riding in and of it's own right without referring to...

I would say that it is un-sustanable to continue to try to enforce prohibition of mountain bike riding in national parks. Did anyone else notice on the cover of the NPWS report it shows riders going off the formed trail to go around a puddle on the track? By the look they are following the...
