The Outcome
We’re going to get our MTB access back. It is just going to be a matter of time. There is public hearing scheduled for February at City Hall where we will all get to voice our opinions. We need to go to that meeting and show up in numbers. Our letter writing made such waves that the Mayor came into the meeting with the understanding that we needed to change these laws (and fast). She is even a proponent for night riding. Most of us expected her support as many know Sheila Dixon is a cyclist herself.

Loch Raven Reservoir is one of two major destination locations for mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and outdoor life in and around Baltimore City. There’s been a back-and-fourth going on for a couple months now regarding single track trail access at Loch Raven and it’s high time we put out a call-to-action for all mountain bikers. The situation is completely out of hand.

Spent the past weekend in Moab, UTwith my boy Jonny Lang (no, not the musician). I flew into Denver, CO where Jon lives. I landed after four hours. We ate dinner, I put my bike together out of the crate I flew it in, and we were off for the six hour drive to Moab two hours after I landed. We got to Moab at three am, checked in to the Best Western, and passed out. We were up bright and early to ride the next day.

Rode Gambrill State Park this past Saturday. The yellow loop. It’s about an hour and half of constant baby head rocks and loose shale. You can rarely get a rhythm going let along sit on your seat. If you’re hammering it, it is a freakin’ work out no matter what shape you are in.
