[SDCBC] Viejas Reservation Closed to Cyclists?

[Robert Larkins]

Are the roads through the reservation county maintained roads or tribal
maintained roads?  If they are maintained by the County, the tribe may
not have jurisdiction as long as cyclist stay within the right-of-way.

It might feel the same, but this is very different from a situation
where a local government restricts cyclists right-of-way by banning
cyclists on some public road.  On their reservation, we are guests.

I suggest that anyone who writes to Viejas express dismay with the
decision to ban cyclists in the context of understanding and showing
respect for the fact that it's their land and they have the right to
make this decision.

Do you have a suggested email address where I can go to tell the Viejas
Tribal Council that this cyclist will plan no further visits to their

	Viejas Grade is a favorite of local cyclists and It would be a
shame to not have it available to riders. As circumstances

this weekend that includes Viejas Grade.
