We’ve received great feedback so far from our first two surveys. Up next is a section in Oregon near Waldo Lake, situated (roughly) between Bend and Eugene in the Cascade mountains. We know that riding in Bend is top-tier and have no reason to believe this section of the PCT would be any different. Tell

And here’s our second Section Survey! This time, a section of the PCT that traverses near Portland, OR. We think this is a prime section of rideable PCT! Let us know what you think! Click here to take the survey!

Revising a previous decision, the USFS in Colorado has reversed course about mountain

[Submitted by: Linda Case] As an equestrian trail rider, I support opening the PCT to responsible and courteous bicycle riders. The trails are there for all of us to enjoy, including equestrians and bicycle riders. I have often ridden trails shared with educated and courteous bicycle riders, with no conflict between both types of riders.

The Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA), which serves to “preserve, protect and promote” the PCT, just put out an on-line survey asking individuals for input on their 2013 Strategic Plan. This is an excellent opportunity for the cycling community to voice our opinions about how we as a community can help the PCTA achieve their

Dear PCT Enthusiast: The Forest Service has rejected our request to rescind or reconsider the Pacific Crest Trail bicycle ban. Its letter to us, which we received two days ago, i.e., on Feb. 5, 2013, can be found here: USFS Reply to the PCTRI 2013-02-05 It is time for you to take action and here
