See the press release below. If you live in Boulder or Clear Creek counties, seriously think about joining this. These are the folks who decide if our trails stay open or not and what funding goes where. Right now, there are only two representatives on this on this committee who are there to help with motorized access to state trails. We need to get this ratio up! You have to have the application in by the 21st... (Rob, you should do this!)
