inconvenience we remained silent. We cannot this year, because in coordination with MRAN there is an event scheduled the same day, November 24 and because the courses cross we feel the hazards are too great. If for no reason than safety of your fellow dirt bike riders, we ask you to please consider ending your ride at Stateline. MRAN is working hard to resolve such problems as how to move wilder· ness study area boundaries to natural terrain changes (not roads), resolving MX missiles that remove whole valleys from the list of places you like to ride, securing funds for the BLM so that they can continue to properly administer recreation demands (avoiding a quota system on races), getting mineshafts (manmade bike traps) fenced and fighting endangered subspecies of insects. We will continue to work to keep the Nevada sections of the Barstow to Vegas corridor open to competition. Although we kinda like our BLM, communicate with the en· vironmental groups and would rather spend a weekend riding than protesting we know tl'\at what works for us will not work for everyone. We wish you every bit of success in restoring responsibility to the management of your public lands. MOTORCYCLE RACING ASSOCIATION OF NEVADA The 01 CONGRATULATES DICK BURLESON ON HIS 6TH CONSECUTIVE AMA NATIONAL ENDURO CHAMPIONSHI~ My route After seeing the map of the BLM's "emergency closure" of the north side of 1-15 (B-to-V trail), 1 felt that· I needed to find a route from Barstow to Vegas which would be legal on Nov. 24. (For my own personal B-to-V trail ride) 1 found that it will be quite pOssible to trail ride B-to- V legally. (Notice, I am not saying that you should.) I will probably follow a route such as ibis: I'll exit 1-15 at Harvard Road, go to the south side and follow dirt roads and trails along the RR to the Fields siding. 1 think I might then follow the tracks and roads along the freeway to Afton. From the Afton Canyon Campground 1 could follow RR and telephone lines through Afton Canyon and out to the Crucero siding. I think I might then travel north across Soda Dry Lake to Kelbaker Road; this would bypass the closed area at Rasor Road. From Kelbaker Road, I will probably follow last year's B-to-V trail to Cima Road. At Cima Road, 1 will probably walk my bike to the north side of the freeway and follow the nearest utility roads to Stateline; thi~ would bypass the closed area in the Clark Mountains. From Stateline I'll probably just follow last year's trail to Vegas, I'll probably have my wife meet me at Afton Campground. Kelbaker Road, Cima Road, Stateline, and Blue iamond Road. Please. this is my route, stay off of itt BLM, please be aware of tWo facts: 1. It is far too late for anyone to stop e son of B-to-V trail ride. 2. Roads and trails on the south side f'I·15 (Harvard Road to Kelbaker oad) are much rougher, and erefore more dangerous, than those ruhe nonh side. In ignoring the rights of the ORV pie and by failing to abide by any f the stipula tions following the Phantom Duck coun case, you have aused the trail ride. By your "emerency closure." of parts of last year's Bto-V course, you have put many people in danger. We are all aware that this closure has little to do with vironmental protection, but has uch to do with the punishment of rsons who refuse to knuckle under. Isn't it time that you stop your insane endetta, before someone is killed?
