[SDCBC] Viejas Reservation Closed to Cyclists?

[Mike Berry]

I have sent email and left a phone message with the Viejas Community
Relations office. Let's see what their response is and what we can do to
work with the tribe to remedy the situation (if their truly is a situation)

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 Casino
and Outlet Center.

In the Union Tribune today there was a letter to the editor from Ted Smith
of Alpine that stated that the
Viejas Tribal Council had closed the reservation to cyclists. Citing that
unsafe motorist's created a liability
for the tribe. 
 
Viejas Grade is a favorite of local cyclists and It would be a shame to not
have it available to riders. As circumstances
Would have it, the century riders  have a club ride scheduled this weekend
that includes Viejas Grade.
