Granted they refer to BMX bicycling we all know they are talking about MTB bicycling.

Why isn't paintball on there?  I like to shoot my paintballs at the bicycle riders!!!

It woudl be cool if they could put up a link to CAMBr and the Fox Valley Trail Riders too.  Maybe also those people we met that clean the river a few times a year, I forget what thier group is called.

On the interactive map there is no mention of Mountain Biking yet.  They should also update this.  Currently it states:

Since acquiring Saw Wee Kee from the State of Illinois in 1963, the Oswegoland Park District has worked with Mother Nature to turn a former strip-mined gravel pit into one of the community's most beautiful natural areas.
