Bike racers. particularly those who have been around a while,

MRGCD has recently started requiring anyone permitting races in the bosque to co-permit the races through them.  They are hesitant to permit races on primitive (not surfaced) trails.  (Surfaced trails would be like the new bit north of Central on the east side, where is smooth and graveled with no sand.)  I am trying to convince them that this can be done without undue impact.  I am trying to compile a complete precedent of rides/races with 15 riders+ that used at least some primitive bosque trails, within known memory.  Can you help me out and see if this looks right or if I might have forgotten something?  The future of any races on trails in any of the bosque is in question and if this is important to you please have a look.  
I am particularly vague on the Which Witch tour back in the early 2000s.  That may not even be the right name, but it did a big bosque trails loop.   

Thanks,

Hawke

Appendix 1
The non permitted rides were just informal practice races or group rides, but I have included them to show the full volume of precedent.  Events held under a official permit are so specified.  As far as I know the informal practice races were within Albuquerque Open Space's rules, for sure the ones I organized.  Informal group rides are not prohibited.  Only rides/races using some primitive trails are listed.
