Bill--I think the bikers are not in Brown's Woods, at least not in numbers. When Ben Van Gundy was still director of the PCCB, he arranged for them to have a trail in the bottomland along the Des Moines River. However, the mountain bikers have really taken a liking to Ashworth Park. Jo Hudson has done a huge job of trying to control or at least get a handle on the garlic mustard at Ashworth. But I think it is a losing battle unless the city decides to take some action on it.

Which reminds me: how are things at Brown's Woods? Have they been able to keep out the dirt bikers, trail bikers, et al? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sign up to receive Sierra Club Insider, the flagship e-newsletter.
