Well, if you do this twice you are. Treat it as a lesson and
you'll be better off.

I get there and the trail head is closed and there is a

All I had to do was look at the web site because it said
it was closed.... If I would have I could have gone to an
open bike mtb park.

So I wasted 3 hours driving which blew my window of
opportunity to ride because of all the stuff needing to be
done for the Holiday tomorrow.

Who knows how long it will be before the weather, family
time and work

You're a loser/idiot for not finding another trail in the
same area. When I ride 1.5 hours to a trail, it's usually
because the world isn't flat anymore and there are several
areas to choose from. You probably could have followed one
of the people beeing turned away. How long were you
planning to ride for? Even a one hour ride back home is
better than no ride.

Not half as much of an idiot as those of us who didn't even
get THAT close to a trail yesterday <blush...>

I hope it is sooner than you think. Look at the bright side,
it' better than getting there, having the trail open and
forgetting your front wheel or something!

nice, bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather
than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an
immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
