Why are people idiots on the trails? If you see something on the trail that isn't bothering you, why
would you remove it? On to my RR rant...
The day was a beautiful one, Jim and I took an afternoon toodle in Bethpage. We rode the usual
route. On this day we made the decision to ride a little bit of the outside section of the park. Its
a little loop of technical, rooty and twisty single track that we like to speed through. In the
entrance to this little loop, there is a stone buried in the ground, it sticks up enough that you
*must* ride over with both wheels in order to receive good mojo for the ride.
We approached the entrance and noticed a hole in the ground where the Luck Stone used to be buried.
We stopped in horror. Our jaws dropped, we were mortified. Somebody had unburied the Luck Stone and
threw it onto the side of the trail. All that was left, was a hole in the middle of the trail. We
threw our bikes on ground in shock and walked over to the hole. Un-f'ing-believable! 15 years of
riding this section, and Jim had never seen anything like this happen, 15 years of riding over the
Luck Stone...
Who was the asshole? Who did it? Whoever it was, deserved to get the biggest saddle sore on
their ass in the history of mountainbiking. The sadness and the anger were slowly beginning to
overcome us...
We quickly got to work to put it back. We dug the hole out a little and rolled the stone that
weighed about 40 pounds back into where it had laid for the many years. We filled in the hole around
the edges and watered it down. The Luck Stone was back home...
Hopefully, it will remain there for the next phase of mountainbikers to ride over...
