sounds like you are getting close to being middle management material
well done
The first sign in this series of pictures has been showing up in a lot of the local parks, and was created and placed by the county's open space / parks and rec department. And while there are certainly legitimate complaints and concerns about riders riding too fast on multi-use, bi-direction trails, it's always stuck in my craw that there is not and never has been any other messaging to address other bad behavior in the parks, or to even educate other trail users about the overall use patterns on the local trails.
About 10 years ago the county restricted mountain bike use in one particular park on odd days, and so now most mountain bikers only go to that park on the even days -- those are the days the fun trail is open to descend. No other user groups have travel restrictions at this park. So IMNSHO the county essentially just threw gasoline on an already hot topic (the use restrictions) and made it worse with these signs that blamestorm behavior which they essentially created with a shitty management policy.
So apparently someone decided to address the issue, that other issues weren't being addressed. They went guerrilla style on it, and made up a few signs to mimic the county's sign, and hopefully educate other trail users in the process. Seriously, whoever did this has my thanks. I'd like to buy them a beer. Who knows how long these signs will stay up, but with any luck the county will get the point.

Quoted for surprising accuracy.

Do it! I'll gladly volunteer to test out some JK brand maple syrup over some Belgian waffles.
There are some interestingly dressed people renting DH bikes here at Killington.
You know the type... knee pads on top of yoga pants, goggle straps under the XC road helmet, no visor full faces etc etc
But on another note, have seen two old Yeti 303's, an Iron Horse Sunday and two Ellsworths.
Oh yeah and a few guys taking their e-bikes on the lift. Huh?
Final note, Killington is hooooge big compared to any resort at home.

If you're on a lift anyway what's the difference? Seems like it's kosher there because Killington's land is leased from the state. Most all resorts out west are leased USFS land thus no e-bikes allowed on the mountain proper. I'd take my Shuttle out to Trestle if I could, not that the e-ness would really change anything.
Got everything done so I could go for a ride and now it's raining. Sever T-storm warning for the Rock so no hiking either. Haven't been in the woods since Sunday.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Killington has been pimping e-bikes. The State of Vermont hasn't.
Killington is also working with an adaptive cycling program. A buddy who's paraplegic has been the to ride and had a blast.
@Adventurous it's red maple, not sugar
I'm hoping it takes off more down here. My buddy liked it enough he's now looking into getting his own adaptive bike.
We saw few adaptive bikes heading into Kingdom Trails on Tuesday. Looked like they were about to have a good time.
exactly.
Haley was asking about Yellowstone blowing up again this morning. That got us onto a conversation about ash clouds and how they impact seasons. Eventually, we started talking about Krakatoa. She asked me to find something to watch so she could learn more about it. We found a few videos right before school and when she got out, it was the first thing she asked about. We're just finishing up watching it now. I love that she always wants to learn more.
Yeah it is. Get some!
You come through here and not shout?
