"Every one of you should ride a bike and be yourself. I really and truly believe that bikes make the world better, and that anyone who spends some time getting used to life on the saddle will find that it makes their life and the world that their life is locked to, better; in almost every way." -Gern Blanston, Surly Bikes
ayh! there be no homeless that we could stir up either!
Simply put this sux...I'll have PCS'd by the time this gets opened again. :/

If I try to keep an optimistic view of this. Perhaps when we do get to reclaim the actual trails, the rogue shortcuts won't be so easy for the rogue shortcutters to reclaim.
A few people have mentioned that and I largely agree. Once we start getting the trails back into riding condition they will be better than ever.
On a related note, the Moline Park Board is meeting this Thursday (see the FORC homepage for details) to discuss the findings from the Missman bridge inspection.
Absolutely!!! And we can rework any areas we didn't like so well.
PLEASE try and attend the Park Board meeting on Thursday (3:30 PM) to show FORC's support and continued interest in the project. The Park Board meeting is at the Public Works Conference Room, 3635 4th Avenue, Moline, Illinois on THURSDAY, 08-22-13 at 3:30 PM. The bridge project is near the top of the agenda, so it will be a quick stop for anyone able to attend.
I wanna ride!
I will be there if you need some backup.
