In a good illustration of how 'we've always ridden there' doesn't mean 'we've got the right to ride there', campaigners are hoping to save Wyllie Bike ...

The guys at Wyllie are asking everyone - whether you’ve ridden their trails, want to ride their trails in the future or just if you’re a nice person - to sign this petition, and then share it with all of your mates and ask them to do the same.
They need to get to 5,000 signatures in the next week, so they can show the people behind the project, and the local council who’ll be making the final decision about whether the project goes ahead, how much people care about losing access to the trails.
So, please, start signing and sharing!
Never been, but it's on my "places to visit" list. Signed (and shared to my local biking group) Good luck!
Signed and contributed. Have ridden there a number of times and is a great venue. Will be very sad to see it go - although, this is what happens
It doesn't sound like the trails are going though - the comments from the environmental reclamation company say they'll maintain access to the trails and consider how they cross the proposed haul road. It'll be a big project but it's only temporary.
I shared this on my FB and my sister in law in the mid-western USA said everyone there has heard of the place!
@munrobiker the existing documents show that the 'temporary' access restriction is to last 7 years. Quite a long temporary!
Thanks gearfreak, that's really good to know - I did think it'll be less disruptive than logging just based on how it is - main access route vs being on the trails, but knowing that they aren't closing it for cyclists and walkers is a bit of a relief.
