It was such a nice day out at Skeggs this weekend, I chose to behave myself and keep my mouth shut.
So while we stopped to chat with another rider, 2 ladies head down Resolution. I figured I would give them some time, but then 7 more people arrive, a hardtail crowd, so I head down. Of course, I catch the ladies on a very technical section, which they were pushing over, and I unwisely do not ask to pass, and apparently they rather have someone on their rear wheel for a half mile than pull over.
Later, I was headed down Manzanita, and 2 dudes are pushing their bikes up the most technical part. I also kept my mouth shut there.
I remember what my friend Amy once said to someone pushing their bike up Mr. Toad's. She mentioned how this should be ridden downhill, and the guy responds snidely how he likes to climb. Amy replies, "You're not climbing. You're pushing your bike."
I believe more people than usual were out at Skeggs on the Saturday before the SB, so I rather have been inconvenienced than made a big ruckus. But this is a follow-up to the Santa Cruz thread, and I guess OG is right: I yield to faster riders because I expect the same.
