radiantm3 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Would be amazing to carry a really loud air horn for a situation like this. Just the thought of it makes me laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cut me off several times as I tried to pass. Does he have it in a pony tail? If so maybe you could reach forward far enough to yank him off his bike by his hair. I've seen that work a few times in the NFL. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he was already being an asshole by not giving me an opportunity to pass for some time before that. Guess it would be a good idea to sport a GoPro for situations like this.. ..Al Yeah it would be very very difficult for me to not at least have words with this guy. And if I passed in an area like the Parmer underpass where there’s lots of room and he hit me... I’m pissed off just thinking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, many times. Some people are either just assholes, or they try to ride a little faster trying to prove something. I have a YT video of the Enchanted Forest trail in CO, where I ran up on a guy that absolutely ignored me behind him. 1 hour ago, Morealice said: Yeah it would be very very difficult for me to not at least have words with this guy.

I'm tempted to start riding over there in hopes of running into him. I'm under an enormous amount of stress right now (not just virus related), and would probably absolutely pop if provoked. I could really use a punching bag. Edited March 31, 2020 by gotdurt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxagent Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I was riding Walnut Creek many years ago with one of my buddies. A young guy (early 20's) would blow past us and then stop after a couple of turns kind of blocking the trail. After the two of us pulling over for him and then having to squeeze past him I finally got tired of it. The next time he passed I jumped on his wheel and kept yelling at him "PICK IT UP! PICK IT UP! YOU ARE GOING TOO SLOW! MOVE MOVE MOVE! LETS GO!!!!" I think i might have buzzed his rear wheel when he slowed down. It didn't take long for him to blow up. He finally pulled over red faced, panting and laid over his bars then fell over. I told him "At least you got off the trail this time." He just glared at me while by buddy rode past laughing. We never saw him again. For some reason he didn't pass us. My buddy kept saying "Man that was COOL!" My point is you can get your point across to someone being a jerk without a physical altercation. Do to them what they are doing to you. When they complain about it say 'so you don't like what you were doing to me? Interesting.' At Peddlers Pass, cut the trail so you end up in front of him and make him try to pass you. Call out "on your right" then pass on the left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morealice Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Just went and checked East entrance to Deception, Peddler’s (in the park near where the race started), and Deception at The Hollows... the dirt was money in the spots I checked anyway. I will DEF be riding tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For minutes I tried making as much noise as possible, but they either didn't hear me or didn't care (I suspect the former). Finally got to an open area and was able to haul ass past them, but I was a bit peeved. I do sometimes encounter runners wearing headphones on singletrack trails wearing headphones, and it's equally annoying when you cannot get their attention or easily pass them. I need a rubber-band shooter mounted to my handlebars.. I was on the hike and bike trail trying to get around some bonewipe with headphones riding in the middle of the trail. Kept ringing my bell, nothing. Then I yelled "hey" and he finally heard me. When I passed him I said "you need to turn that down a bit" and he said "you don't own the trail" like some smug asshole. To which I replied "either do you" and all the people around got a good laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFisher Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 How is Brushy looking mid day (or mornings) during the week? No way I am going in the afternoon/evening, but I would like to make it out there soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-day to and mornings(preferred) is definitely your best bet. 3pm to 7pm is a MADHOUSE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then dusk to dark with lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFisher Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks for the info guys. I was there from about 11-1. More people than I would have liked but doable. May try to go much earlier (next time it is dry anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-Blood Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 A tree trimming party may be coming soon for D. It's getting real bad in spots. And a few tech sections need a little maintenance. Erosion has made them dangerous and not super fun. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
