[pct-l] Mountain Bike Posts

[Andrea Dinsmore]

I thought the purpose of the PCT-L forum was to help hikers (new and old)
to find answers to hiking problems ?? Problems like pack choice, water
cashes, food questions, clothing options, route questions, trail angels,
survival skills...etc.

The discussion of bikes on the trail should be on the Save the PCT site.
That is the purpose of that site.
