To whom it may concern,
As an active OHV enthusiast and motorcyclist I fully support the recommendations set forth by the Rampart Range Motorcycle committee. This includes the creation of motorcycle only singletrack in the Rampart area and the extension of trail(s) to connect with the existing OHV areas to the south including the Woodland park area.
The recommendations are as follows:
Build a single track connector trail suitable for motorcycles from near the intersection of Rampart Range Road and Highway 67 (old dump road) west to trail #693, the Bear Creek Trail.
Build a single track trail suitable for motorcycles and ATVs from the new parking area on the north end of Jackson Creek Road west a short distance where the new trail would split and one fork would head north to trail #686 and one fork would head south to FR 507 (Rim Road).
Re-establish an old connector trail suitable for motorcycles from trail #653 south to the intersection of trails #657 and #680.
Build a single track perimeter trail suitable for motorcycles from trail #672 south to trail #678 continuing south to trail #649 and the east to trail #650 then heading northeast to Rampart Range Road, continue northeast from Rampart Range Road to Watson Park Road and then to the new parking area located north of Bergen Rock on Dakan Road.

Re-open trails #649, #678 & #695 that have been closed by the USFS.
Trail #627, Beginner Trail: Suitable for motorcycles and ATVs, maintain limited access points to Rampart Range Road.
