I was bringing up the rear on a climb of a rider when we came across a hiker. The leading rider stopped to ask the hiker if he saw his buddy and the hiker starts telling the rider that we were on a hiking-only trail in a rude manner. The guy on the bike started to lose his temper a bit but didn't seem to know he was on a legal trail so I stopped and told him. Just then his friend road up the hill and was cursing the hiker out for telling him the trail was off limits to mtb's. The guy tried to find another way but was not sure of one so he came up the trail that he thought was off limits. I assurred the both of them that it was legal. In my second season riding off road I've come across a few jerks but this guy(hiker) takes the cake. He tried to give these riders false information just to louse them up. What a creep.

Information is power ... I always know how legal I am. If any hikers (or anyone else for that matter) tries to tell me different I'll know ... and if they try to KEEP me from going where I legally can, then I gently (chya right) tell then that unlawful detainment is a felony crime.

He may have been rude, but it sounds like an honest mistake. How would you react if you found equestrians on a trail that you thought was prohibited? Find your Zen and there will be trails enough for all. =)

The tone of the guy voice indicated otherwise, he sounded like a smart ass. Also, he did not correct me or try to argue with me when I told the first rider he was in the right. I actually intervened because I thought it would get ugly.
