Trails and Bikers

Beautiful morning on the trails - me, two friends, and about a thousand mountain bikers. This isn't a gripe more so then a plea for safety and consideration. There are runners, hikers, horseback riders, children, babies in carry packs and dogs of all sizes (and this is another post) enjoying the trail and they ALL have right away before a mountain biker. That's just they way it works and it should be known and remembered by all bikers before they hit the trail. I try and be considerate whenever I can and move as I am able - but with a bike moving top speed down hill with now clear side of the path they're on - it's hard. There are safet measures in place (yell passing...) for a reason and it's not just respect - it's precaution. I animals, snakes and frogs trampled by bikers and that's simply not an acceptable way to enoy the trails. Learn how to use them please.
Or stay off.

Peace,
Eric
