I think it would be healthy to forget the entitlement aspect for a moment. Sure, it exists, and it’s gross.
But in an area where gnarly trails are being decommissioned to make way for green/blue flow trails, do you really think this is the hill to die on? Once again, this is public land. Sometimes you have to make accommodations for the public. And if the ratio of hard to easy trails doesn’t match the ratio of good to bad riders, something’s going to have to give.
The thing about entitled people is they don’t usually stop at asking nicely. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride and meet in the middle to keep from losing everything. It seems like you’re willing to risk all that you have over an idea.
