Off-road motorcyclists and bicyclists are forming an association to lobby state and county government officials to use public lands on Kaua’i for their recreational activities.

Between 20 and 25 motorcyclists and bicyclists attended a meeting in Anahola recently to discuss the formation of the Combined Off-Road Riders of Kauai, according to spokesman Danny Lampley.

When formed, the group will initiate efforts to protect trails and create new ones across the island for bicyclists and off-road motorcyclists, Lampley told The Garden Island in a recent interview.

One area which representatives from the group would like to use is 429 acres on the makai side of Anahola.

The state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, which manages that parcel, has not approved motocross-riding on the land.
