Outlawing Off-Road Riding (from 1986 Winning Magazine)

Thanks to Jeff Royal for sharing the original article. - MF OUTLAWING OFF-ROAD RIDING Winning Magazine, May 1986 by R. P. Boye The politics of banning mountain bikes from park trails. Bob Cooper On January 21 this year the East Bay Regional Park Board in California discussed the banning of off-road bicycles on many of its park trails. Park administrators felt that the prohibition of bicycles was necessary to ensure the safety of other trail users. The park district, which includes 46 parks in Contra Costa and Alameda counties, had received 30 complaints in two years from hikers and horseback riders who had been forced off trails by mountain bike riders. Consequently, the park board drew up an ordinance that would prohibit bikes from using dirt trails designed primarily for hiking and horseback riding.

Tioga Pass, No Cars

On Tuesday, June 9th at 10:40AM I got this text from my friend Mike: He sent me these two links: https://www.strava.com/ activities/1585707689 http://www.thegearcaster.com/ 2014/05/cycling-across- yosemite-on-tioga-road.html I know he'd done the no-cars Tioga Pass ride before. Authorities plow Tioga Pass road and give cyclists a day or two before they open it to cars. It happens every year, with very little fanfare and the date isn't known until days beforehand. I'd gotten the word before, in years past, but had not done the ride. This time I bit. My kids are away at college, no weekend coaching is happening, my wife won't miss me if I'm gone for a weekend day. My dogs would, but they'd also forget they did. I said yes.

THE PERALTA CLAIM. - San Joaquin Republican, Volume 4, Number 9, 12 January 1854

THE PERALTA CLAIM. The Land Commissioners will decide on the merits of the Peralta claim this morning. The Chronicle says that this is one of the most important claims that has come before the Commissioners - certainly more important than any yet decided by the present Board. The claim embraces the villages of Oakland, San Antonio, Alameda, and the whole range of the coast for ten miles ; and about three thousand people are settled upon it. The claim was granted in fee simple to the senior Peralta , as a reward for military services, and was occupied by him until his death. It is stated that he lived to the age of 120 years, and could lasso a bull after he was 100 years old; that he rode forty miles the day before his death, which occurred in San Jose, from an attack of cholera.
