That would be awesome. However, I don’t have much hope that they would make an announcement like this because it will hurt their bottom end; and I mean $! I hope someone can prove me wrong….
I looked at the trail fest info and unfortunately they do not mention no e-bikes! Buried way down in their FAQ’s it is mentioned but not on the registration page or when registering.
I saw that too about trail fest. Agreed, and I'll add that $ talks and lubricates in decision-making. Nevertheless, the responsible and ethical thing to do, along with actually following land use policy, would be for SDMBA, as a licensed non-profit, to emphasize that e-bikes are not permitted on trails in Laguna Mountain Recreation Area (unless things change before then).
Agreed! I’ve noticed a ton of new trail work arounds to avoid rocks and roots all through the Laguna’s v getting better on the bike.
Additionally, I’ve seen an explosion of e-bikers that are not understanding trail etiquette and scaring hikers and horse enthusiasts by buzzing by them at both Laguna and Cuyamaca. Not sure how e-bikes are allowed at both Cuyamaca and Laguna?
I've emailed and called both places and get no responses. Policy is not being enforced. Maybe we can get SDMBA to make a PSA and remind riders that e-bikes are not allowed on trails at either place.
