Excellent as usual Aaron. :thumbsup:

I think these kinds of articles are huge for our PR.

I'm a bit distrustful of the media, but in this case was quoted exactly as I had hoped I would be. Agreed, this is good PR for RMDRA…

Just read the Article. This is the exact positive PR the club is looking for and also backs up our belief about a sustainable trail system. Well spoken Aaron :thumbsup:


Now we all need to do our best to keep off the trails that are not ready to ride. I am eager to hit Mclean too, but we just need some time for the ground to dry up.

you get the VP of the AOHVA/Trail Maintenance guy for RMDRA making a statement that mirrors the AWA, plus a positive statement from the AWA notioning that OHV users may have respect and want sustainable trails....

Wowsersss.... :applause: :applause:

My thoughts too, I was amazed.

Any time you can get the AWA, or "green" groups in general, to acknowledge us as anything but motorhead buffoons bent on destoying the environment that's a huge deal. If we can get a guy like Nigel Dawson even just thinking that maybe we aren't so bad afterall, let alone seeing us as doing some good and deserving our place at the table, that's a huge coup for us. It just goes to show that all the hard work the RMDRA has put into this is starting to pay off.

Huge kudos go out to everyone involved in that.

Good thing we will all be 'elsewhere' that weekend anyways :lol:
