I very much want to fax something to the GDPUD offices
on this subject (was very dismayed, seeing as the trails
they mention are my main stomping ground), but don't quite
know what to say. This is what I came up with so far:

"Dear Sirs

I strongly object to GDPUD limiting access to trails
described in Ordinance 99-02. I have ridden in this area
for years and feel it would be a gross disservice to those
who have worked so hard to maintain these trails, some of
which have been around for many, many years".


Steve? Anyone on the Georgetown Divide? What else could I
say? I'm not sure from the proposal, exactly what will be
affected, so I can't be terribly specific.

Help! I am poised to send this, and grab everyone I can
think of around here to fax something similar.

Would three identically worded faxes from three different
people be more useful than one fax with three signatures 
on the bottom?
