ABOUT THE EPISODE
Drew is joined by guest, Todd McMahon. Todd contacted our team at Mountain Bike Radio to get on and share his thoughts on mountain bikes in Wilderness Areas. Todd owns mountain bikes himself and mountain bikes from time to time. He is better known as a hiker, recently completing the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. He believes that the Pacific Crest Trail should be kept for it's original users, hikers and horseback riders and has created two pages to share information about the trail.
This episode will give you some thoughts from someone who isn't neck-deep in the cycling world and will offer perspective of how others view mountain bikers.
Mountain Bike Radio officially endorses both IMBA and the Sustainable Trails Coalition. We feel that IMBA has played an integral role in all of our current access and local and regional relationships and will continue to foster those important relationships, while the Sustainable Trails Coalition can pick up in efforts that IMBA isn't. Together, the groups provide some great advocacy for all of us.
If you or someone you know is in charge of trail projects or organizing work days for your group, Drew wants you to email him. Share your projects and when your work days are, and he'll share that information in future episodes.
If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for the next episode, contact us at info@mountainbikeradio.com.
