Ranchers.net

Hello all!

I belong to a small club of local (Tucson, AZ) responsible dirt bike riders who are looking to establish single track trails on ranch land in exchange for free labor for errosion control, fence repair, gate repair and general upkeep. Good public land is getting harder and harder to fine for us to enjoy our hobby and the threat looms that soon all of our public riding areas will be closed to any off road vehicles.

The trails we wish to ride on are no wider then the typical cow trail and have a very low impact on the surrounding terrain. We as a group are aware of cattle ranching concerns and would avoid all cattle tanks and of course the livestock themselves. We would be respectful of off limit areas as well as breeding times.

This could be a win/win situation for both parties. There may be options to generate revinue for the ranch as well. We are not a bunch of yahoo's looking to destroy the land. We respect the desert and want to continue to enjoy the beauty of the land from the saddles of our bikes without fear of the LAW.

I hear this is a common relationship with Texas ranches and it works out really well for everyone. I am anxious to hear your thoughts on this idea.

Thanks

Eric Theis
