clotheslined & I'm not talking about wet clothes

[parts]

Who's been maintaining the feeble effort @ blocking traffic to the trail right across the BP from where you get spit out of Ladies? All those branches make me laugh & I assume it's the peeps that own houses in the cul-de-sac lower down. If this trail was really closed I'm sure there'd be a sign or sumpin'.

well tonight was an eye-opener. About 10 seconds from the pavement I'm bombing down the trail & all of a sudden there's a searing pain across my neck. First thought- "barbwire? nope cuz my head's still attached" so wtf? my neck's bleeding pretty bad. So I stop and see what the dilio is: a huge blackberry bush branch strung across the trail @ about 5' high. There's an outside chance it could have just been there thanks to mother nature, but since I'v been hitting that little spit out trail for years and this is the first time I find that highly unlikely.

anyone know the deal w/ it.

Oh yah, whne I got home & looked in the mirror, my face actually got it worse but I didn't feel it @ the time. I don't mind being bloddy after a good bail from a stunt or sumpin' but this kinda blows. Maybe I'll just tell the peeps @ work I met a wild chick rather than a blackberry bush.

The ride was still fun....

those piles of sticks are a joke. i ride that trail fairly often, its really fun..
but yeah whoever thinks those piles of sticks are gona stop bikers are wrong :lol:

theres a chance the blackberry bush was put there.. more than likely it just grew there tho

I walked up that trail with the wife and kids earlier in the week and the trail was clear . Today I headed up that way with my hound to do a little work and was suprized to see all the sticks across the trail. They won't stop a bike but this is 'trail nazism'. As for the branch , they are bowing down because of the dry weather , I,ve seen alot of those lately . Be careful in closed in trail , it happens every year.

hopefully its natural

remember the wires strung up on Natural High? Or the broken bottles on Ladies? I hope I never see any more of that shit and I hope I never catch someone doing it, I don't know what would happen.

its just the prickles drooping down. dont worry. i got snagged on seymour and ended up falling over hahaha just ask mike. it was funny.

as for sticks whatever. if i see someone doing it im gonna ask them if they've considered that this is the same as people lining garbage cans in front of their driveway. they're still gonna park there, just gotta move em.
