    Well I can't stand the thought of glass on GMR. Glass itself does not bother me, but the idiots that throw the bottles do. As I've said before, yes a flat riding up, ha ha you got me you butt hole but a flat going down? You idiots can seriously hurt somebody! There were two places that had broken bottles scattered across the road on Saturday's ride. Not something some idiot dropped but you could tell it was placed their intentionally. Last thing I need is an emergency room visit or worse, Gina getting seriously hurt because of some stupid dope! I enjoy my hobby but do what I can to avoid the danger for Gina and myself. The thought of that glass there just bothered me over the last few days. I had a chance to head up in the truck so I took a broom with me. Fortunately the sweeper must have went by because most of it was cleared off the road. There was still some glass here and there along the shoulder where we ride so I swept it up best I could. I went to both spots, about 3 miles up and then again at 4 miles where the idiots must hang out!


    What the heck, figured I'd make a video out of it ha ha!

    Hi Desert
    I guess this is a commendable form of "trail maintenance for roadies"(?)

    There was a dude that used to ride up there just about every weekend to sweep the road. I want to say his name was Bill. He'd ride a MTB type bike up with a push broom. Haven't seen him in years. I'd have to say the road was cleaner back then. Wonder what happened to the guy. He surely was appreciated!
