If you still think mountain biking is an appropriate use of our public
lands, you had better look at these photographs!

Hi,

Just thought I'd forward this to you. These images are enough to make
anyone's heart leap back up into their throat, and show why no
equestrians will ride the Tunnel Trail any more. Very, very scary.

You sure you haven't been up there Mike? That booby trap they reference
sounded like something you'd support, based on your past posts.

Good article, points out the criminal activity some hikers and
envormentalist will go to in an attempt to dominate the trails for their own
personal use. Thanks Mike!

The only things scary here are:

A: Another typical attempt by Vandeman to spread misinformation (Google
Groups Search "Vandeman" has it ad nauseum)

and

B: The terrorist activity of some "environmentalists" attempting to kill or
maim other persons. Of course, by Vandeman logic, all environmentalists are
terrorists based on the actions of a few renegades.

If you can't tell from the article & photos that it's the mountain
bikers who are dominating, you are really dumb.

Oh, good. I looked at the pics and wondered what I was missing about
scary stuff.

Only scary thing for me is that, with the different comp, I didn't yet
have MVD killfiled yet.

If you can't tell from the website you reference that cooperation,
maintenance, charity and care are attributes of the folks who operate this
bike shop then you are really dumb. Typically, you focus on only the aspects
that you can use to support your agenda and leave out anything else that
negates it. (Google Groups search "vandeman" says it all)

From the article and written by a mtn biker:

"When you ride Tunnel, do it on a week day, wear a bell and kill the
jerks with kindness. "

The jerks are the hikers who attack the bikers.

Looks fine to me. They are all on trails. What seems to be your problem with
it? Was your daughter killed by a mountain biker?

"Kook" says it all about Vandeman as well, and it's 4 less keystrokes... :Oo

Yeah, as long as they get their way and get to rip up trails and
terrify all other trail users....

then you are really dumb. Typically, you focus on only the aspects

They wouldn't have to, if the mountain bikers would walk, instead of
terrorizing all other trail users.

They widened the trail enormously, ground it into powder, and
terrorized all other trail users off the trail. Isn't that enough? You
guys are transparent liars.
 
>>Was your daughter killed by a mountain biker?

Nah, it was his manhood.
