Plan ahead

Started my vacation after work at 130 pm yesterday.
Well heavy rain at times all weekend long (stating after dark). At 3 pm
I'm hitting the trail and loving it with only a few riders taking
avantage of the bad weather to come. About 3 racked cars in dirt parking
lot of Bluff Point State Park. I see a freerider off in the distance
pumping up the tech trails. Wow whats up here with all this earth moving
machinery. So I take a turn down what use to be singletrack changed to
double double wide. I end up at a construction fench and what use to be
a cove with a parkbench looking out over the cove which now is dry land.
I move on up to the hilly turff and run in to that freerider with the
yelow jersey coming up while I going down we talk awhile. I don't know
him but he knows just about everyone I know even about the construction
and why. This morning I read more details about the constuction in the
newspaper. Well after the rain full weekend I'm headed out for Millers
Pond and more riding fun with a few more stops at Bluff Point.

Don't ya just hate it when singletrack is IMBAfied for multi-use? Keep
on riding!

The nor'easter is holding off the coast just far enough to keep the rain
away. I had off yesterday and took a little spin in the woods. Looks
like another good day today and some more riding tomorrow (yeh, I know
it's mom's day).

It really sucks when a park is managed by someone who think a bulldozer is
trail maintenance equipment. Next thing you'll know, they'll cover it
thick with gravel. This was the fate of one trail I used to ride.

Happens here all the time. The company that IMBA started uses one of
those fire breaker tractors to create trails. They like to call it
single track, I call it a road.

This is one big park two big parks really. Hailie's
Farm State Park and Bluff Point State Park. Rode both that evening. The
parks are slit up by Amtrack tain tracks with a bridge to go to and
from. or a cattle tunnel. Till about 5 years ago the tunnel was the
only passage. After the long ride I rode over to the local water hole
and put down a few Irish Stouts and seafood with the wife,sister inlaw,
and a friend. Now get this the earthmovers are to move the river out
there and to replace old sewer pipes that run under both parks from Fort
Hill to the river. By moving the river it dries up the wetlands so water
fowl can't hang out. This the same area the state puts on a deer hunt
for DEP officers only. Every winter they manage the deer by
killing them off and they need to kill off this rape and murder by the
name of Ross they been carrying for 20 something years. Kill him would
be DEP right.

Sounds alot like the Trails. (place near the Olympic Beach Vollyball park in
Clayton County. Except they then plopped a 12 court tennis center right in
the heart of the singletrack.

How's that for an indignity??
