Last year the Montgomery High Cross Country Team had a stretching session all over a major intersection of the Howarth Park MUP system. I carried my bike over and thru the kids and stopped next to the Teacher in charge. "Sir, , YOU are setting a bad example for your students by encouraging them to block a Public trail and deneying it to others who have a right to use it. Do I need to contact the Principle, the Mayor and the Police about your bad example? Or do I need a lawyer?" "We have a Right to be here" he said. "You do not have a right to block the entire trail." I meant to embarrass him in front of the kids and I guess it worked. Now when I pass the team during their workout in the park they all move over to the other side of the path.

Try a varient of that the next time a group of HS runners block you.
