Seriously though, there’s almost no one but yourselves on that trail

Conversely, every straight of our MUP is as populated as a bustling block party! I mean it’s nothing but dodging walkers, joggers, dogs on ridiculously long leashes, baby strollers, small children, roller bladders, and a few bicyclists
. My cousin and I rode it once in late winter on a chilly day and we had it almost to ourselves, but even then, the posted 10 MPH speed limit signs ruin the ride potential

Your MUP would be a treat to ride!
Not all MUPS are the same, yet some people write about them as if they were. And, I will be the first to state that on a sunny, warm Saturday morning, there will be a lot more folks. Still, I find that if I treat folks with respect, slow way down around congregated area and especially children, I enjoy myself. Our MUPS mostly are 15 t0 20 mph speed lmits, but there are many areas where visibility is such that I have no problem with 20 - 25 - where I can see several hundred feet away. I ride MUPS daily, and have my choice out my back door of at least 4 different trails. Most of our MUPS go for 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 miles without a stop sign or street crossing.
Not all MUPS are the same. I am distressed when folks treat them as if they are all the same as the ones in their area.
