I am an avid Mountain Biker. Almost every weekend my friends and I travel to Mount Hood and other areas to enjoy the fantastic trails here in Oregon. Designating an area as "Wilderness" exludes all mechanical modes of transportation. I belong to an advocacy group called IMBA, International Mountain Bike Association. They have been trying to gain an exception to the wilderness designation to allow non motorized vehicles. It would be a great loss to me to loose access to these trails.
