As an Artist I need my fix. Describe some trails in poem form and let's guess where you are talking about. Go.

There once was a kick ass trail,

but idiots would blab and Strava without fail,

then one day,

Before my day, but Forest Ridge?

Barton Creek Greenbelt

Purgatory would count too

Please try to keep it legal ladies... 

 

Ok, an easy one:

I thought this was supposed to be a water quality management area?

Why are there horses here?

What happened to their poop catch bags?

Slaughter Creek?

And that's a damn good question. They are soooooo careful about "protecting" the water, scared that a mountain biker is going to taint the water table, yet allow horses to crap all over it. Interesting.

Is that what you call it when we cool off in the life giving waters?

Thank you.  I was hoping that one wasn't gonna be left hanging there forever.

there is a perfectly sound scientific reason for this. horse poop is pure fertilizer and does not hurt water quality, unlike dog poop. dogs and horses eat very different things—herbivore vs carnivore—so they poop very different things. I could cite one source, but if you don't believe me, look up the phrase "why do we have to pick up dog poop but not horse poop" and you'll find tons of information from the CDC and other authoritative sources. still, stepping in a horse poop on the trail is never fun, but leaving it there is not bad for the environment. dog poop is bad for the environment.

by that standard, it should be perfectly safe for me to do the same, but I don't expect my logic to be sufficient for my defense when I get turned in for leaving a dookie on the side of the trail.

There once was a guy with a bike,

to ride it all day he would like,

One time he was freakin

Ohio Nue t'was seeking

the name of the course is.......

Mohican!!!! Come on now. Ok who's next? Anyone feeling it? 

[RidingAgain]

Ride up to a level
I shouldn't be here
Yet looking across tree tops
I see an LED sign
 

[RidingAgain]

Riding tall, he came up on my tail
Enough I thought
Kicked down and flew low
Hitting creek gnarl
I held firm and peddled hard
Stopped at the bridge 
No longer on my tail he was

[Bamwa]

Hmmmm I would totally know if those rhymed. Retry??

But here you go...

I ride up to a level and stop
I know I shouldn't be here
Yet looking across the tree top
I see an LED sign way over there

And...

Riding tall, he came up on my tail
Enough of this I thought
Kicked down, I flew low on the trail
Hitting creek gnarl, quickly a line I sought
I held firm, peddled hard, no way I'd bail
Stopped at the bridge, was I caught
No longer on my tail
His effort was all for nought

I need a clue. Is this Austin? I don't know the Satan trails well enough. Come on folks....where's the far off LED sign?

Edited September 6, 2020 by Bamwa

[RidingAgain]

For sure I'm speaking of SATN trails.

Here's a hint... The first is no longer accessible by bike.

The second is a section of trail that, riding it in the direction I was, takes you to more trail that's not for bikes.

[Bamwa]

This thread is going over like a lead zepplin.

[Bamwa]

Tried this trail again after five short years,

the ups and downs almost had me in tears,

made it halfway then felt so frail,

then I slogged through the creek and up the powerlines to bail. 

Many trees down and areas have changed,

Where there was dirt was now rocky drains,

Even the warm up loop has me falling over,

I hate it when old trails make you feel older.
