mntn bike 2:20:00 [3]
commute back to Palgrave
Apparently some work being done on Rail Trail between Horseshoe Hill and Heart lake Rd... no idea why.. make work project I presume. Good use of tax payers $$$ ?!?!
I was about 1/3 of the way down this rail trail section when two guys in a (city?) truck, coming the other way, told me I had to go back... "it's unsafe"?!.. I could see it was no different than what I was riding (a softened up rail trail). We had words... I was gonna be a dick (seriously, what could they do to stop me?) but decided to be an adult about it and ride back and then reroute around on roads.. extra few kms (I could use the mileage) ... they were being real asses about it which got my back up a little
.. before I dislocate my shoulder patting myself on the back for acting all growed up, I have to admit that I rode back out to HLR as slow as I possibly could without falling over, since they were behind me in the truck... ending their day (it was after 18:00 and these guys would be anxious to leave) ... and then I may have stopped my bike right at the end of the trail so they couldn't get by and pulled out my phone and spent 5 minutes pretending to look for a new route to get around this grievous interruption.... :-)
so I was a bit of a dick... but no one got hurt :-)
