Come to RockyMounts this Wednesday for an Oskar Blues Beer and a chance to support both BMA and Bicycle Longmont. Local bike culture favorites Chad Melis and Cristina Begy will be pouring beers to support cycling. RSVP via Facebook so your friends can find you on what looks to be yet another cold wet April week.

 

 

The snow forced a postponement of the Walker Ranch meeting last week. The meeting is now scheduled for May 7 in the Houston Room at the Clerk and Recorder's Office, 1750 33rd Street, Boulder. The goal of the meeting is for Boulder County Parks & Open Space to present the Walker Ranch Management Draft Plan.

 

Unfortunately, the plan doesn't call for some of the things that BMA had advocated for, like singletrack trail links between Walker Ranch and Chapman Drive and Nederland, reworking sections of trail that are on old roadbeds to improve the quality of the user experience, expanding the trail network in areas, adding alternate lines to the main loop to add challenge for advanced trail users or to allow families to recreate together, or adding a play area/skills park at one of the trail heads, but it does call for a new plan to figure out a connection between Eldo to Walker, which is exciting.

If you ride at Walker Ranch and have input about the draft management plan, BMA would really appreciate your presence at the meeting to make our voice heard. If you can, mention some of the key points above. Thanks!

Come to Betasso Preserve to work on the Link trail, a.k.a. Pipeline. This trail is eroded and the city is not happy their pipeline keeps getting exposed. We'll work to fix these issues. This work session will include a focus on learning the type of rock work needed at Betasso. We will use these skills throughout the season at posse events.
