I have received your newsletter in the mail and recently saw the article in a
European magazine about MTB Mania. I have been riding MTB up and down
Anderson before we had suspension, sometimes two to three times a week in the
winter. I have seen the trail change from a technical climb with little use
to the freeway it has become. I was glad to see that you have decided to
stop shuttling riders along this trail after all the bad publicity MTB has
been getting on Anderson. The shuttling allows riders to ride the trail many
times which results in overuse of the trail. Anderson is a great trail and
one of the closest trails for me I would hate to see it closed from your
shuttling.

I was glad to see that you are considering making a jumping area. Please
keep me posted on it.
