I live near the platteville area, and they are trying to get more trail for more people to promote healthier living. If you are a fan of mountain biking, please sign this petition to help people out.

We call it the blockhouse roll, my dad and friends founded it years ago, and we are really trying to get it going strong again. Its always a fun time, and it's way better when it's packed, with or without strangers. It would be awesome if anybody who lives near the town of platteville would come. If you can, i'll be in the team "freeflight" kit which is red and yellow. I'll also be riding a green trek x-cal, so if you can make it, don't be afraid to say high. I know it's a ways away still, but better to get the word out now so people can plan.
Please help us out guys, it will benefit tons of people.
