To everyone who shuttles the UCSC trails... The locals who live on the private road that we drive up are fed up with all of us using the road to shuttle. I've had run-ins with some of them before but it's finally gotten serious. Last week the sheriff was called and we were informed by him that if the road continues to be abused hell be issuing arrests. He was serious too
as in, if he gets another call about bikers using the road hell start arresting people.
Anyway, all hope is not lost. Weve contacted one of the neighborhood officials and are trying to work out some kind of deal where we chip in some money annually for road maintenance in exchange for being able to use the road. Were still trying to work this out, so in the mean time Im asking people to please hold off on using that road to shuttle. Its a pretty delicate situation right now (some of the locals are really pissed off) and having people continue to use the road is only going to hurt our chances of working out some kind of agreement. Also, it would really suck to get arrested if someone calls the sheriff on you, so suck it up and climb/push up the trails for the time being.
If people could spread the word to anyone they know who uses the road it would be appreciated Ill keep people updated when I find out more.
