That is shaping up to be a big group! You may want to break into smaller groups when you get past Inspiration Point where there are more hikers. Remember it was just a short few years ago we nearly lost access to those trails.

brought up a point that I have been Soooo wanting to talk about!

I have been HIKING the San Gabriel's for much of my life. The past few years, I have been retracing my steps with a mountain bike. Same trails... different perspective!

Let it be known- There are MANY hikers in the San Gabriel's who are NOT HAPPY that we are riding on THEIR trails!

I can't say that I blame them! While hiking, I have been nearly run-over countless times by inconsiderate dumb-f#cks flying down the trail! Mott and Tedroy can attest to the fact, there are many MOUNTAIN BIKING brothers who are less than considerate on the trail.

My opinions:

1) The Trail is not set-up for large groups of mountain bikers

2) We may have to eventually split-up into smaller groups

3) When approaching hikers: Either pull off to the side, or sloooooooooowy ride past them AFTER they wave you on. A smile or thank you will go a long way...

4) Trust me- there are always JERKS (i.e. A-Hole DH riders with attitudes) on the Wilson trail. It is our job as "considerate" DH riders to set positive examples!

Mott, Tedroy and I have had much discussion concerning this matter!

Thank you for your time,

Dino Brown

... I have some (2) motorola radios that may be of use to us as a group. If anyone else has these lil' ski radios let's sync freq's and stay in touch on the way down. Cells don't always work up there, but we should have a list of cell#'s anyway. Safety first and all. I really don't want to have any people get hurt on this ride. It is VERY possible. Ask Coleeko!

Dino Brown · 11-21-2007, 09:41 PM

i'll bring (2).... Sprockethead may have a couple!

davidB · 11-21-2007, 09:45 PM
