Rant warning
So. . . I am the trail director (I think that’s my title) of our local trail system. We have a 10.1 mile xc trail that is in a local billionaires property. I’m responsible for all trail maintenance/building/signage. It’s a volunteer position. Our organization also is set up as a 501c3 and we have a board of directors as we organize a few cycling related festivals.
We have recently purchased 16 acres adjoining the 200 acres we already use. We are planning to build a skills park, pump track and a more legitimate parking lot.
The whole board of directors is expressing their opinions on who and how the parking lot should be made. We’re talking base of 2s and too coat with asphalt millings. But now it has to be fucking complicated.
I reached out to 3 excavating companies that are riders and they are willing to donate time and equipment.
Now I have other board members saying we need to hire it done as they don’t think my guys are good enough.
Not sure how a laser grade controlled D6 isn’t good enough but what the fuck do I know.
Holy shit. Where’s the Tylenol.

) did not like getting aggressively passed, mind no hitting, just forcing people out to take their line. One decided to not lift on a 180* turn and hit me square on the side after being passed 2 turns prior. It was so hard that the alignment went off by ~30* on the steering wheel. In the cool down lap, both decided to hit me at once - one square to the side, the other flat out to the rear when I was wedged to the wall. Both have now been perma-banned from the chain, so... I don't feel bad for them. Because I hurt like hell. Needless to say, I'll be getting a collar and go back to only racing shifters and in smaller adult races when Haley is in them.
