Your ideas and thoughts were a big help in designing the day and your efforts to recruit volunteers from the biking community con- tributed significantly to wonderful turnout of volunteer workers. I In Defence of Mx think everyone had good time working in the park and enjoying As I read David Riding's letter to the editor in the last issue of the fruits of their labors later on. And you deserve a huge SingleTracks I had a sick feeling come over me. Change a few THANK YOU for dealing with the neighborhood concerns about words from MX'ers to mtbikers, and this could have been written the trailwork that was happening and allaying their fears. This by the Friends of Fells anti-mtbiking group, the Wheeled Locusts. event was a great kick off to biking in Cutler Park and I hope to work with you on future projects. However, what concerns me most about this letter is that like the Wheeled Locusts, the author feels his interaction with the groups Kevin R. Hollenbeck, Reservation Supervisor, MDC during those rides somehow warrants involvement with legal authorities or as he puts it "I think the gloves need to come off with respect to motorcycles". Since mtbikers have no more right Supporting the Land Preservation Fund to Vietnam than dirtbikers, what possible good could come of Enclosed is a check for the Land Preservation Fund. I'm really involving the police, except for creating more negative press for happy NEMBA has established the fund, and is actively working mtbikes and possible action that eliminates access for both to purchase as much of Vietnam as possible. I could ramble on groups. about the evil of sprawl and its irreversible effects forever-but I As an avid road cyclist, mountain biker and dirt bike rider for won't. Keep up the great work. many years I have a different perspective on multi-use trails than Brendan Dee, Providence RI most. A little history is in order for many of those who don't real- ize that dirt bikers, MXer's as they are referred to in this letter, created the majority of trails in Vietnam, Freetown, Groton and many other places mtbikers currently ride. As such, who is infringing on whom? Our energies are better spent fighting the eco-nazi groups that have dedicated their miserable lives to ridding the woods of mtbikes. Also, we mtbikers need to be careful in casting stones regarding environmental impact of other user groups. Just as the wheeled locusts seek out high impact areas in the Fells for their website, I can take pictures of the Appalachian Trail in Maine that are in substantially worse condition from foot traffic. Life is full of choices. I won't defend the dirt bikers that David encountered on his rides, however, I wonder if just their presence on the trails somehow made the situation seem worse than it was. If so, there are many places to ride mtbikes without encoun- tering dirtbikes. Courtesy is a two way street, both groups have participants which could use a dope slap to make them realize that a small minority can have a very adverse impact on their abil- ity to enjoy their sport.

One in five Americans is living with a disability, making people with disabilities the largest minority in the country. Yet, despite these numbers, people with disabilities rarely enjoy the full range of opportunities available to the larger community. OE has found that personal growth and insight are crucial to overcoming preju- dices and preconceptions about one's self and others. Your gen- erosity helps Outdoor Explorations ensure that all people,regard- less of ability or economic circumstances, have access to the free- dom,beauty, and life-changing power of the outdoors.
