[SDCBC] Viejas Reservation Closed to Cyclists?

[Tom Lettington]

I rode past Willow Road and Viejas Grade Road today then up Viejas 
Grade Road past the demarkation point for reservation property.  No 
sign indicating any restriction on bicycles, only the old sign saying 
that going past that sign makes one subject to Tribal rules.
