I can't help but thinking in the 33 years I have ridden Fromme I cannot recall any conflicts like this when the trails were challenging, undulating and tough. In all the time I hike up Lower Oilcan I see many hikers coming down. I doubt they would do so if the trail were tough, meaty and challenging. Hikers like it easy, and that is what the mountain biking community today is providing. You reap what you sow.
So now you are saying we should make the trails specific to your vision of mountain biking to keep hikers off them?
More of the Frog Lady strategy.
I agree with Blackfly.
Are you forgetting who we are and where we came from?
We were the crazy bastards riding skinnies and dorps to falt.We were the ones riding trails so technically challenging that we were revered by the rest of the cycling world.
….now it has been mostly watered down to the same shit you can ride anywhere….most of the soul is gone.
If oldtimers are hiking the fabled "northshore trails" is all gone.
I know eyes on pages mean something to you Cam,and the more "accessable thesport becomes,the better for your site…..but this is no longer "riding on the Shore".
