Seems like the work is never done, there's another fire burning that needs immediate attention, I hope you can help spread the word.
The MD state budget has a major short fall and if it does not get resolved they are going to shut down 8 state parks, some which have great mountain biking. The parks on the chopping block are:
Gambrill, Rosaryville, Greenbrier, New Germany, Rocks, Gathland, Washington Monument, Fort Frederick, South Mountain Complex , Smallwood and Pocomoke
I just got word of this and time is short, so you need to call or email your Representative TODAY and let them know how important the state parks are to you, one of their constituents and voters. Let them know you do not support closing the parks for any reason. It's too late for mailing letters, this is all needs to be done today and tomorrow. We need to flood them with concerned park users who will be very angry if this happens. If you do not know who your reps are you can plug in your address at this web site to find out:

Thanks again for all you've done to support mountain biking and trails in Maryland, we've got some great riding here and we want to keep it that way.
