    As a property owner on Tilghman Rd, I fully support Chris Scott and Shenandoah Mountain Touring for a special use permit. We look forward to these events every year. Friends join us at the end of our driveway to enjoy watching the bikes going by while sipping a morning coffee. We’ve never experienced any problems with anyone from this group and several are nice enough to stop and chat sometimes. It’s FUN! Lots of great pictures and memories! This is a real asset to the community and the bike trail system. I encourage it to be continued and hope we get to see them riding by later this year! Thank you!

    I fully support this request. These are great events that support local businesses and are great for the community. There are numerous trails that are connected using small portions of the local roads. My son’s only sport is mountain biking. And using these roads connect him to the trails that he loves. He grew up with these events, learning to volunteer and ultimately race in the events. He looks forward to these events every year. They are very important for his happiness, and physical and mental health.

    I support Chris Scott and Shenandoah Mountain Touring. I am a resident of Augusta County, a regular participant of SMT events and see tons of positive reasons for continuation of SMT events. The Campground and area trails have seen steady improvements and use beacause of these events
