I know that trail and tend to avoid "Family Hour" for just that reason. You never know when a group of meat pylons will be hiding around a corner.
Were they facing you, or were you coming from behind?
Did you have time to announce yourself?
Were they all on bikes, or just the little girl?
I'm familiar with the anger/guilt feeling. Mine was turning right (in my car) from a full stop onto a busy street and knocked down a roller blader who was riding the wrong way on a bike lane (hidden behind a line of parked cars). I was relieved as hell he was OK...Mad as hell at all contra-flow idiots in the world...and feeling guilty as hell for not anticipating his bone head shenanigans.
