from My Back 40 · host Steve O'Shaughnessy

In this episode, I’m speaking with Jeff Woodgate, Instructor, guide and owner of Alberta 66 Mountain Biking and a key player in the Grow Kananaskis movement.They’re on a mission to protect over 900 hectares of pristine wilderness in West Bragg Creek and Moose Mountain from logging. Yep, that's the equivalent of 833 soccer fields! Can you imagine? These trails are planned to be logged removing the majority of the remaining older growth forest and will have an irreversible effect on the experience of outdoor recreation in the area. The economic impact of this project will be deep affecting local business that thrive due to this diamond of a mountain biking destination.I wanted to get this podcast out asap as there will be an open house in Cochrane at the Cochrane Ranchehouse from 3pm - 8pm.It would mean the world to them if you could sign the petition today.Email all the stake holders now!Save 15% at Redshift Sports when you use the code MB40Save 50% off your first month of coaching at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Visit Rollingdale CycleThanks to Ottalaus Inc. for their support.Thanks to Spandex Panda for their support.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for supporting me!
