I just recieved the below e-mail message from IMBA. I figured all of us might want to step up to the plate on this one.

We need your help to protect Fruita and Grand Junction Mountain bike trails.

A pending auction by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), scheduled for May 6, puts trails in jeopardy from oil and gas development. These trails are world-class and are enjoyed by riders from all 50 states and many other nations, as well as the local riding community.

Take action (http://go.imba.com/site/R?i=QPibXFc7-canRXsORXwHPQ..) today. (Comments must be received by April 26.)
Your message will support the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association’s (COPMOBA) request to withdraw key parcels from BLM’s proposed May 6, 2006 lease auction.

By clicking on the link above, your message will be sent to Catherine Robertson, Field Manager, BLM Grand Junction, and Sally Wisely, Colorado BLM State Director.

Thanks for your support!

Yeah I got it too. I have already taken the time to respond. Hopefully we do not lose these trails! I would like to get out there again because I thoroughly enjoyed those trails.

The KKrew is doing their part. We have ridden over 9 hours in 2 days. Temps are great this week. The fun starts today. All the trailers and vendors are in place.

Uh, yeah. Just got back from there and it is definitely worth protecting. Fruita has the best and most technical singletrack trails I have ever riden. There is a bit of everything for every rider and riding style there.

Fruita rocks!!

I'm dying to get out there sometime. Whenever someone goes out there they have nothing but good things to say when they get back.

I like one of the photos where you guys are riding on some cool looking rocks... its one thing I wish we had was more than the typical round rocks.
