Flightline Progress Blog

I got an email a few weeks ago from someone in your group that asked or stated that they felt that the trail work that was done out at Flightline was not illegal, but just “not authorized”.  Here are some thoughts on that issue.  I’m not trying to incite anything here, but just trying to get your […]

RIP stands for rest in peace. The trail takes you into an environment of such contrast; suddenly you are engulfed by darkness and can feel the change in the air temp from the creek’s moisture. The trees cover the trail blocking out the harsh sun and you are immediately aware of the silence. Small twigs […]

Thanks.  The County told me today that they are going to issue a statement to your group very soon.  It will set the tone for the next steps.

I know this is a special place.  With time, you’ll be back riding again.

What does RIP stand for? and Skyline?

Regarding the current message regarding the runners who were running on RIP on the 18th. I was hoping to keep you up on what sort of thinking was taking place. I sent out the plethora of e-mails you sent me on I think it was Friday or Saturday. I emailed as many as I could […]

Hi Minette

I saw your name in the story in the NC times about the Flightline trail. We would like to work with you to try to get that whole area as open space- with legal biking trails. We submitted a nomination to the city of Carlsbad to include the county parcel as […]

Marcus,
 
One individuals perception of what type of plants and their origin that were used to cover the trail does not represent what we believe as a group or what we are doing as a whole.  Please do not take things out of context or feel you need to resort to threatening trespass violation or reconsidering […]

Hi,

These are untrue statements.  Most of the brush we used was previously cut and hauled back over the trail. Any cut branches were from common species and we did not destroy or kill any plants to cover the trail.  Did you see how much vegetation was cut to create the 2 trails […]

Hi Sunny and Richard,
I was out all last week with the flu, but have been meaning to get back to you.

I realize that many of you are anxious to get out to the preserve to bike again. But there’s lots to do between now and anytime that this […]

Hi Mike:

Pete requested I contact you regarding the meeting to discuss the mountain bike trails issue at Palomar Airport. As we discussed earlier this week, the County supports the meeting you agreed to coordinate with City staff, including your trails coordinator, CNLM, County staff, other agencies, and interested mountain bike parties. The purpose of the meeting would be […]

From what I can determine, neither the Airports, CNLM nor the City of Carlsbad have set up a meeting with anyone on the 17th or any other date. As far I am concerned, there is no meeting.
I recommend that the CNLM complete removing the bike trail and replant the path then CNLM should coordinate […]
