Continental Divide Trail--SAVE IT FOR HIKING

Bikers Plan to Claim the CDT for themselves.

Latest Directive from The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA)!

(When it comes to the longest trails in the country, mountain bikes haven't been welcome.
Congress banned bicycles from the Appalachian Trail before our sport evolved, and access to the Pacific Crest Trail was eliminated in 1988, before mountain bike advocacy had fully developed. With nearly 5,000 miles of iconic trail off-limits on either coast, mountain bikers have had to look to the Rocky Mountains for their taste of epic, backcountry riding.
The 3,100-mile Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDNST) is truly a unique resource for the mountain biking community. Running the spine of the Rockies from Canada to Mexico, the CDNST is largely open to bikes in non-Wilderness areas. But now that appears to be in danger as well. )

There is a reason they are not allowed on the AT and the PCT--mountain bikes tear up trail. Their claim that it has the same impact as hiking boots is BS, propaganda, myth. If they can convince enough people they are low impact they will rule the trail and ruin the trail. It is up to us to support the idea the forest service is pushing. The biking community has huge numbers and seem much better organized. If you do not voice your opinion now you will be sorry later.
