One of the IK team's favorite riding areas 'Flightline' is now set to be closed to Mountain Bikers. Over the past few years I've blogged about our many adventures in Flightline - everything from timing our circuit to Kevin's near miraculous dive into the stream when he fell from one of the bridges.
Over time I talked about how we lost a big portion of Flightline to a new road extension and new houses. Well apparently part of the deal for getting permission to develop such a large section of Flightline was to ensure no one could get to the remainder in the future. Of course this has left many people upset so they've started a campaign to try and save Flightline's current status as a local area where people can get out into the undeveloped areas.
