As you may know the forest service tore down the ribbed trail in Leavenworth. It is a shame. I was there about 5-6 weeks ago when some kid got really hurt on the ladder drop, he got carried out by search and rescue. He was riding way out of his league. Anyways I was talking to the authorities at the time of the accident and they told me that to many people were getting hurt and they were going to tear it down. Last time I checked, more hikers and mountain climbers get hurt or killed and we as tax payers pay hundred of thousands of dollars for search and recovery efforts. Does that mean the forest service should tear out every singletrack,hiking trails that exist, I think not. It looks to me that they are picking on bikers, maybe us bikers should turn around and sue the forest service for being a bunch of idiots............ think about it
