November 9, 2010 at 2:05 pmAlthough I have a current Rang Pass (recreational pass), I was stopped by the guards at the EOD School on Range Road and was told that the rules have changed and the road is now closed to all cyclists as of 1 Oct 2010. I can’t believe it and want to see if anyone knows the real story. I have over 20k on Range Road since 1992 and hate to give up that great ride.
I still go out on the weekends when the guards are not at their post, but would like to know the facts. Any thoughts?
