[Just in case anyone was wondering, this is a light-hearted joke meant to lighten the mood.]

Haha! That's why I had to make sure I added the "of travel"!

I reserve most of my displeasure for the equestrians, and that's mostly for the poop and stutter-bumps the hoofprints leave when it's muddy out. I've never had a "bad" encounter with a horse and/or rider face-to-face. Hmm, hunters on the other hand...now I don't know when to ride some trails for fear of catching a bullet. I've managed to stay bullethole free for this long, I hope it stays that way.

What is up?? We were justout trail riding minding our own buisness. Doing the same kind of riding I do here all the time with no problems. Have any of you guys ever had a problem like this? Who flippin' cares what you ride or how you ride. Ok I feel better now,end rant. Oh, old fat guys should not wear full lycra team kits,kinda made him look like a deformed soccer ball.

I think you just ran into some jerks. Some people have to put others down just to make themselves feel superior. In my experience, they have pretty sad lives. For what it's worth, I don't run into that sort of stuff about 100 miles east at Harris Lake or Crabtree. Then again, I'm one of those old, fat soccer balls wearing lycra you referred to. Maybe they're just saying something when I'm out of hearing range.
