This person is new here cut them alittle slack. Peels if you are not aware of it, this is not a good time of
the year to ride the trails. Those tracks you are leaving behind are called pizza cutters and tear up a trail
and are no fun to repair. When the trail is in your words "a muddy ride" it's best to stay off it. Nobody
can keep you off them they are everyone's trails. It is your decision to ride them or not, but karma is a
b!t@h. If you do choose to ride this trail when it is muddy, you may want to consider doing some trial
maintenance once things dry up abit to help repair the damage . You can contact the local trail
coordinator im sure they would love the help. Welcome aboard this is a great place everything you want
to know about MTBing can be had here all you have to do is ask.

yeah its the wheel set :(
I went around to the dragons tail, but it was too muddy so I turned back and tried to get some miles in on the gravel. Even sections of the gravel were too much so I had to call it an early day. I know not to ride the trails when its muddy, thats why i turned back.

thanks RMX. I would take responsibility if I did it, but I really didnt think I left any deep tracks. It sucks because last summer on my rides i would try to clear as much as I could after the rain storms and contribute what i could to the trails. and for people here to jump to the conclusion that I am the only one that could have done that is frustrating. I dont want to turn this into an attack sesh, we are all on the same team here. I understand all of your guys' anger, but I think it's missplaced.

peels,
sounds like you have a pretty good handle on taking care of our trails/treasures
see ya in the woods (or at a trail maintainence day :wink: )

please do not pay attention to the grumpy old man,
you're just lucky you didn't say they were 29'ers

fyi - he yells at the kids who cut across his grass on halloween too
:evil:

Sorry to hear it's your wheelset peels, bummer that f'ing sucks. I hope they turn up for you.
This is a good group if someone on here finds them you will get them back. Again welcome
to the asylum where everything you want to know and don't want to know can be had.
