Hi,
As a resident in Monterey, CA and avid Mountain biker, I would like to express my support in
building lift access trails. This exciting new venture would bring a ton of tourism revenue and
interest into Gilroy. The nearest lift accessible trails for me would be a 6 hour drive to
Northstar at lake tahoe which is only open for a brief time in the summer. I know for a fact
that I and tons of other passionate mountain bikers would spend their weekends enjoying the
trails and contributing to the Gilroy economy.
My partner is also disabled and uses a wheelchair. She also uses an adaptive bike to enjoy
mountain biking. She would love to visit this place as well!
