This doesn't sound like mountain bikers.  This sounds like BMX.  Maybe
we're just lucky our trail's so rugged.  I've yet to meet one who was
even going fast.  They're usually just managing to maintain forward
progress and terribly polite. 

 I almost got offended once when a guy had really squeaky brakes and I
tried to yell at him at a distance and ask him to stop.  He couldn't see
me and I couldn't see him, but my young horse was upset.  I yelled
several times and he just kept coming.  When he saw me he stopped, and
made a motion and I realized he was deaf.  

I appreciate the fact that they use our trails because the pleasure
riders never make it into the more remote areas that the handful of
endurance riders around here use, and it's nice to know that if Kaboot
tries to kill me, one of them just *might* come along and find what's
left.
