our local park, palmer park, has lots of various riding, and almost all of it is multi-use: bike, hike, equine.
there's a few trails in particular that dog-walkers let their dogs run wild (no problem), but they don't like bikes riding on "their" trails, so they put 10-30 lbs rocks in the turns in the trail, or other parts which are obviously hard to see until you're on top of them. maybe it's sierra club members...?
i suspected this until recently when i came up & caught her. she then acted like she was moving it from the trail. i said nothing; i'm a dick in traffic, but not on trails
i greet everyone i see on the trail w/o exception, so it isn't like i (or anyone in my group) gives them justifiable cause to do this. there was almost no one on the trails this morning, but obviously planted rocks were on nearly every trail. luckily, i was riding my bullit, but this is still a pita & causes friction for the community of trail users.
what to do? i'd like solutions which don't prevent me from riding there again, so dirtmcgurk can keep suggestions to himself
