I am writing in favor of opening the new section of singletrack to mountain bike users.

*	I support Alternative 3.
*	The current route is not a high-quality backcountry bicycling experience because it is limited to dirt roads.
*	Backcountry bicycling is a highly valued experience and is perfectly suited for this segment of the CDNST.
*	Mountain bikers bring valuable partnerships for trail design, building and maintenance as well as trail patrols that can offer assistance to other trail users.
*	This area is lightly used by all modes of recreation, so there is little chance of conflict between user groups. The mountain bikers who are on trails such as the proposed CDT/CT segment are looking for a quiet experience and are generally very considerate users.
*	mountain bikes are light and human powered, so create very little damage to trails, especially in small numbers, ie the remote location of this proposed segment.Deadline Extended! Last day to comment is now, Dec. 17.
