Nice, Easy Ride

My and my brother-in-law's family rode a total of 14 miles on the trail last weekend, and it was a nice ride. However, there were a few riders who apparently had places to be and could not slow down for the children that were with our crew. At one point we were passing some horse-riders and a grown man almost had a head on colllision with my 9-year-old because he could not be bothered to slow his pace. He began yelling at him to get to the the right, (there were horses there and he could not move to the right) but did not slow down at all. At another point, a man and woman were coming full speed in the opposite direction and a young girl that was with us was trying to move to the right to let them pass, but not fast enough. The man did not slow down and the woman started to come to the right to pass and luckily wiped out because she almost had a head-on collision with me, who had a 2-year-old in a seat on the back of the bike. The man started yelling profanities at the young girl who was with us. So, nice trail; I would like to ride again sometime, but some of the people are idiots.

Its nice to see family groups on the trail. Its a shame when a few riders feel that they own the trail. The Trail is for everyone to enjoy not a select few. If your looking to do real training you should be riding a more diverse route to include real hills.
remember you are not the only person riding the trail so wave ding your bell and pass when its safe for all.
