[SDCBC] Viejas Reservation Closed to Cyclists?

[Thomas Reynolds]

Mike,

Please let us know when/if they get back to you.

It's strange because there is a marked bike lane right in front of the
Casino, Viejas used to (maybe still does) sponsor a bicycle racing
team, and they were sponsors of the Alpine Challenge, run last
weekend, which goes right in front of their casino.
