For any of you who have ever ridden the trails around Rico, you know how awesome they are. They don’t get a great deal of use because they are tucked away from the more popular riding areas. But they offer some of the most challenging and pristine single track in the state. I’ve ridden these trails a number of times (usually with my great tour guides from PAPA) and we almost never see anyone on them. The Plaintiffs simply want us out of the area. There is no valid reason for it. And because the USFS used proper discretion, they choose so sue them. Our access groups have joined with the USFS on this one. Now would be a good time to get out the checkbook and write one for a meaningful amount (at least a pair of tires). The groups that have engaged in this suit are truly partners, so you could donate to any of them, and they would be appreciative and it would go to the right place. If you want some tax advantage, the Colorado TPA is a 501c(3), so donations are tax deductible. Here are some options for you:
