Wow. Nice dialogue. I have a little time to respond because we're getting another cold snap. (Tomorrow it's supposed to bounce back to 70, so I can venture out...
I simply cannot stand by and let these types of comments go unchallenged. If it is not entirely obvious, these are the types of comments and attitudes that...

Excellent points, Roger. I joined PUMP, tried to make a difference in a way that mattered to me, and found I could not. I would have stood up and asked the...
Ted, excellent points, and one SMALL step that current members can do to make others feel 'connected' is a simple gesture: whether it's a ride, a meeting,...
Will, Thanks for your comments. I apologize for labeling Eric R negative or as a complainer. My bad... It is my personal goal to help people understand that...
Hey Ted, Do tell, what part of my original email do you consider to be negative? I read it a few times, and just can't see it. I think that no mountain biking...
I think there is a bigger issue that is being missed here. Instead of labeling someone who has had a bad experience with PUMP as a negative person or as a...

Eric, Come on buddy… There is enough negative people in the world. Don’t subscribe to the low level thinking of being a “complainer.” I know that you...
Here's the long form of a speech I made to Congressmen Earl Blumenauer and Greg Walden, with quite a few facts about MTB'ing in Oregon......and details about...
Roger: I think this is a perfect example of the great value PUMP has! But not enough people know about this kind of effort. I think the PUMP website is great,...
Paul, it was decided by vote of the Board Members that Shanti was the person qualified to represent PUMP, due to her involvement with the club, participating...
I think that's kind of elitist. I think if you give folks value, then they will want to pay. Value, for example, can be advocacy, it can be social stuff, it...

Yes, I do think it is part of the problem. I think it is also why there aren't that many mountain bike events. There are only 2 mountain bike races close to...
I think Mark is correct about learning about rides then settling in with small groups with similar interests. And dispersed use is good because it reduces...
During the two-three months of good weather, Portland (within a couple of hours drive) has the best mountain biking anywhere. More urban trails would be nice,...

Ah, here we go, and I even found it on one of my favorite websites: "September 14, 2004 ... Last year more than 39 million Americans participated in...
Someone please refresh my memory here, but about 2-4 years ago there was a published document from (I believe) Oregon Parks Department stating that the...
We should be pushing for more mountain biking teams in the local schools - as in California. One would be more than what we have now I think. If we get kids...
