ATV riders eye Badger State Trail
Last January, about 40 ATV users and other motorsports enthusiasts showed up at an organizing meeting of Friends of the Badger State Trail, paid $15 individual membership dues, and elected their own to a majority on the board.
Observers believe the ATV users intended to position themselves to obtain greater access to the trail.
“I wouldn’t say we showed up in overwhelming numbers, but we showed more interest in the trail [than bicyclists],” says Don Noble, a small engine repair shop in Monroe and president of the Green County ATV Club, who was elected to the friends group’s board.
The full story, by Silent Sports editor Joel Patenaude, appears in this week’s Isthmus newspaper.
