Was riding XC at a local park today, and on my third lap of the fairly lame loop they have, I was informed by a hiker that bikes are not allowed there on Saturday. I was aware that we werent allowed there on wednesday, but saturday is news to me. A few minutes later another hiker told me the same thing, to which I replied "When is the no hiker day?" His bitc... I mean wife said rather arrogantly, "Neevvver." Anyway I finished my ride regardless and wasnt ticketed or turned in by anyone. Its bad enough that these oatmeal muching environazis who dont know sh!t about cycling have turned boulder into a mountian biking mecca with almost no mountian biking trails, now they have to take the best day of the week in one of the few local spots so that 4 or 5 hikers can have the park all to themselves. I hike, I also backcountry ski and run, and I know for a fact that passing a few bikes on the trail never hurts anyone. The two people I passed that hasseled me I passed while climbing, and they answered my friendly greeting by rather rudely informing me I want allowed to be there. Some days I want to go back to maryland... haha ok thats not true.
