				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Seattle P-I</em>, which unfortunately is on the verge of closing its print publication, has a <a  href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/getaways/403004_biking12.html" target="_blank">long feature</a> on Seattle&#8217;s mountain biking organization, the <a  href="http://evergreenmtb.org/home/index.php" target="_blank">Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance</a>. Formerly it was the Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club, but the organization has grown beyond being a club to a liaison with user groups, legislation, government officials and other outlets.</p>
<p>As a lifetime member who joined BBTC in the early 1990s, I share the mixed feelings over the name change of many of us oldtimers. But as an oldtimer, I know that things have to change, and I don&#8217;t want to be the kind of oldtimer that I remember them being when I was younger. The BBTC, er, EMBA, seems poised to do some great work, and we wish it well. A number of us are pushing for expanded riding on Tiger Mountain, for example. As individuals we wouldn&#8217;t get very far, but the clout of a recognized organization makes our case more viable. And that clout is enhanced by the credibility of articles in local newspapers like the <em>P-I</em>. It&#8217;s another reason why we need newspapers, even if they don&#8217;t come to us on paper.</p>
