This is bigger than we really think. It forces people to ride in areas that are already restricted or private lands. Eventually there will be additional closures because of the additional riders to these areas. We are almost out of riding realestate in S. Fla.  What can we do other than sign up? Ride our quads to Tallahasee and park them in front of the capital building? What the hell.

OOOOH.. Boy do I like the way you think!!! Now that sounds like a blast! Hell, just the amount of people we have here on this site will make somewhat of an impact if were to do that.. not to mention if we posted flyers at all the bike shops!!! OOOOOH.. Set a date for this one, lol.. You can count me in!

I can visualize a run from Miami to the capital. One could do the whole trip or partial with deisignated stops at certain riding areas, private or public.. And have different groups assigned to specific parts of the route. kinda like the Olympic Torch. There would be permits, escorts, FHP, local po po etc. It could be bigger than one thinks. Besides it would be a blast. Anybody up for the Organization Commitee? I could not do this. Im a 8 to 5 guy with limited time for anything but the family and work. You also have FTR and a couple dozen groups across the state that can assist. Lets roll.

The ARRA is great but they are in washington fighting to keep federal lands open, not state. Looks like we need to get in touch with state organizations to continue the fight.

EMAIL I recieved when I emailed the ARRA with my concern

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the email.  We've actually gotten several from people like
you
who are concerned about what is happening in Collier County.  I wish we
could do more from here, but since it is state land, there is not much
we
can do here in Washington, where we are working hard to keep access to
federal lands.

Another ARRA member sent this link to a discussion board that is
talking
about the issue right now, if you want to read some more about it:

There are some good organizations that are working hard in Florida to
help
keep lands open for riding.  If you haven't already, you might contact
the
National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council representatives in
Florida
