Cliff Trail Lifestyle Ride

AdventureSeen.com is adopting the "No Fracking Pipeline in the George Washington National Forest" slogan to spread the word and to add value to the AdventureSeen lifestyle ride videos.  Protecting the places we ride is just as important as trailwork.   

A few of the boys from the crew rolled out to Cliff Trail and shot this short video.


Cliff Trail Lifestyle Ride: No Fracking Pipeline in the GWNF! from Adventure Seen on Vimeo.
Harrisonburg's backyard is famous for long climbs, ripping descents, rocky tech and destination quality trails thanks to the GWNF.  The George Washington National Forest is one of the largest federally managed public lands on the east coast.  Natural gas production in the forest is currently banned and it needs to stay that way.  Dominion Power has proposed a natural gas pipeline that is slated to cross the most remote and magnificent ridges in the forest to transport petrochemicals from fracking sites in West Virginia to export centers in North Carolina.  Not only would pipeline construction interfere with ecosystems and watersheds, but it would be infrastructure for directional drilling in the forest. 

Visit the Southern Environmental Law Center's page on Fracking in the GWNF to learn more about this threat to our playground.
