Attended the presentation by Bill Brooks, Chair of the Stave West Master Plan Task Force. It is encouraging to see that they are seeking input from users of the area and are more focused and funded than before. This is an ongoing process with reports due Feb/Mar 2015. There are five main work groups one of which is stake holders/user groups, this would include dualsport enthusiasts. There could be real opportunity here to have improved access to this area. First up will be attending the three upcoming open houses and also the online survey. However the Mission website does not seem to be quite up to date, I will get the links and post up.
Currently there is the main road suitable for tire scrubbing, C riding to viewpoints and the odd gnarly bits, but this is a large area and with more interest and involvement could present more diverse riding. It's where I went to get my dualsport skills honed to a fine "C"
.
Anyone who has explored these areas has witnessed the problems. The trouble makers are opportunists. I think if there is a plan and some organisation(ability to report) they will not feel so comfortable. Some measures have already been put in place to record activity and enforce the area.
Cheers, Alex.
