Mmmmm, limited sight distance on a two way trail. > within a few seconds i heard more bikes coming (we hadn't seen > anyone in hours) and tresa alertly ran down the trail waving her > arms to make sure i didn't get run into again. Get run into again? So, it's the other guy's fault? I wonder how the other guy's story goes. flame suit on, wishing speedy and full recovery to *both* riders, Dean defensive riding, it's not just for the street anymore

Probably 75-85% of the trails are pretty easy and ATV accessible, so motorcyclists tend to go a little faster than is really safe (I hate to say it, but I'm guilty too) if there are very many riders. There aren't any one way trails here and the ATVs form ruts that make the trails kind of like a luge run, so speeding around the wrong side of a corner can be kind of fun. My brother's girlfriend's son also got into a head on collision with someone that was riding a little too fast. Fortunately he wasn't hurt, nor was the '76 Bultaco Alpina he was riding. Heal quickly Mark! Sorry I missed you up there. Dennis Kennedy '98 XR400

Always sad when someone gets hurt riding... I really hope Mark's recovery to be fast and painless... -- Tiago
