[QUOTE="Bryce R, post: 10677, member: 345"] Guys the people we are fighting aren't from idaho (What's new!) so I say send it in it can't hurt. You visit here with your bikes! You spend Money here! You should have a say! Also I found they screwed up on the fax number. The number is 208-424-3850 Here is a link to more info and a little read below. [URL="https://www.sharetrails.org/alerts/?alert=1191"]https://www.sharetrails.org/alerts/?alert=1191[/URL] IDAHO S. 3294 – CIEDRA - Central Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act The U.S. Senate Subcommittee for Public Lands and Forests heard testimony June 16, 2010 on Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson's Boulder/White Clouds Wilderness bill. Known as CIEDRA, this legislation would close approximately 80 miles of mountain bike single track and tens of thousands of acres of prized high mountain snowmobiling. Apparently, the Subcommittee testimony raised serious questions...

Barker has posted two blurbs on his blog: Motorized recreation activist flexes muscles [url]http://tinyurl.com/2gax5lu[/url] Other collaborative processes threatened if Simpson's bill goes down [url]http://tinyurl.com/29hmtv6[/url] Speaking of Sandra Mitchell... Sandra Mitchell sent a email update to members of Idaho Recreation Council and Idaho State Snowmobile Association reacting to the news that Senator Risch is reconsidering his support of that bill: "We have waited a long time to hear something like this and I know there were times when we all felt as if CIEDRA was a done deal. Thanks to your hard work and that magnificent letter from the Governor; it isn’t over. Again, I am going to ask you do something and that is to contact Senator Risch and say thanks for his comments in the Statesman and for understanding that this CIEDRA bill doesn’t work for the people or the land.
