Hi Erin,

The plans for proposed wilderness in the 10 mountain ranges concerns me. All of the 10 ranges have trails which we enjoy visiting on mountain bike. For example, the trails in the Dragoon mountains from east to west stronghold, the trails in the Catalina mountains, routes in the Tumacacori mountains through Apache Pass, are all places we frequent by bicycle. I oppose any new wilderness designation in these places. 

I was surprised to see that mountain bikes are not included as a user group in the draft plans which I read. There are many people using bicycles in a responsible way and we need our places to ride kept open. 

Thanks so much for your consideration,

Sincerely,     Lee Blackwell
