What do you mean by restorative justice in this case, Hazen?
I won't deny there are riders who enjoy the occasional beer up there, however
I also don't come across cans on the trails - very often. Occasionally there
is evidence of a fire site with some discarded bottles and I can guarantee you
those are not left by riders - bottles are heavier and prone to breakage. As
for riding while impaired, definitely not a good idea, but that feels like
deflecting the issue here. MTBers are not drunk, high, out-of-control
cannonballs careening down the trails, despite what some may think.
