Marin Mountain Biking -- GGNRA Possible Closures

The Golden Gate National Recreation Area is soliciting public comments as it updates its transportation plan, with major implications for mountain bikers. Bike access would be limited in some areas. You can let them know how you feel by posting online comments (or via snail mail).

Link to comment page

Suggested comments......

Re the proposed closure of Slacker Hill:

* Slacker Hill has enjoyed long historical use by cyclists and other users without problems. Please leave it open.

* Slacker Hill provides spectacular views of the Golden Gate, the city, and other Headlands locations that are unique, and unavailable at any other place. It is said to be the best view area within the Headlands.

* Closure of Slacker Hill Road will deny hikers and equestrians the ability to travel between the SCA/Ridge Trail, and the top of Julian Road, creating a serious gap in access to the western part of the park.

There should be bike access on Dubois Road.

There should be bike access to the trail that descends from Conzelman Road, east of Battery McIndoe, to the Visitor Center on Rodeo Lagoon. It is critical that cyclists have off road routes from Conzelman Road, down into the Valley. This is in furtherance of the Plan's goal to improve trails and connectivity within the area.

There should be bike access on the existing trail that starts at the riding stables, proceeds westerly, then southerly, passing to the east of the Headlands Center for the Arts, and finally joining the newly created Visitor Center - Conzelman Road trail.

The Tour!

The Tour de France has begun and what an exciting start!

The prologue on Sunday in London found Fabian Cancellara winning by a big margin over everyone else. I was very pleased with that as Fabian is my favorite rider who is currently riding. (Andrea Peron will always be my #1 favorite rider though.)

Stage one had a fantastic and exciting sprint finish. Robbie McEwen was just amazing, blowing through the field after being knocked over on his bike and having to catch up to and ride through the peleton! I'm really looking forward to watching every stage.

As for an overall winner? Who knows! That's the beauty of it--the race is wide open.

Hello Italy!!

Love those Italian men......

Vincenzo laquinta

I'm watching the replay of the Italy - Germany game and what a great overtime! The Germans were stunned and the second goal was just beautiful. One half of my dream final is set. Now for Portugal to do their thing.
