Just got another email...
Upon further review of your objection to the Bitterroot Travel Plan concerning mountain biking within the Sapphire and Blue Joint Wilderness Study Areas, I have decided to accept your objection for further review and rescind my previous letter signed September 28, 2018, which set aside your objection.
I have found your objection meets the requirements of 36 CFR 218.8 and 218.9, commonly known as the objection process. Therefore, your objection will be considered and I will provide a written response to your objection and address the issues you have raised, as required by the objection process at 36 CFR 218 subparts A and B.

Good! I was afraid they'd be hyper technical which is why i felt forced to write legal rather than English.
Singletracks article out. PB article submitted. Fwiw

He must have seen the latest TR and realized you're riding an Ibis now and not the Turner

Could use some proofreading here as I'm trying to write these MT articles. They will go on Singletracks. Poke holes, typos etc

Heard earlier there have been over 400 comments sent through the portal linked above, which has now been shared to all the CA chapters as well.
And saw it in an email from Bike Mag this afternoon too.

Saw this in the Helena paper yesterday about some new trails in the northern Elkhorns. Bikes allowed.

As a water quality professional, it was useful to read that bull trout require untouched roadless areas.

Great part 1 and it's always good to ruffle some feathers and I really enjoyed the story. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.
My only confusion is that as I understood it the trails were technically never opened back up. I didn't go through the whole docket but from what I did read, Judge Christensen never said the trails would be open until the FS completes their new comment period. It was something that the local groups just assumed and publicized. Then because of that the Wilderness groups went back and got Christensen to write an order clarifying that the lack of comment was harmless error and the trails wouldn't be re-opened. Am I way off here? Or was it just a very mountain-biker-focused perspective in telling the story?It sucks to suck.

First is FS ruling complying with court order to open bike trails pending the FS putting a information process in place . From July 2018
Second is FS ruling to close bike trails complying with court decision following wilderness proponents seeking court clarification. From Aug 2018
Ive got the court decisions. Will load them on web and give a link : unles you already downloaded from pacer?

Lee, thanks for the clarification. I've read the June 29th decision and posted it somewhere on here (I think another Bitterroot thread). I hadn't seen any further orders or the FS postings. It seems Christensen wasn't completely clear originally. Kind of screwed up of the Defendant-Intervenors to do that when Plaintiffs and Defendants were in agreement already.
It sucks to suck.

According to BBC the defendents/intervenors were really eager to get their get-off-my-lawn message to bikes.
The July 2018 decision basically said that the WSAs would return to status quo ante which meant open to bikes. The August 2018 clarification definitely reversed that. Just realized I don't have that and am trying to get a copy

Slightly OT (but not really)...can anyone recommend some great trails like these being discussed halfway between Jackson and Glacier? Planning a road trip next summer, and want to break up the drive, hopefully with a great trail near a great campsite...yeah, I want it all!

Got them. Here are the clarifications. The July 2018 decision actually left it ambiguous which the judge then clarified.
