You say equestrian riders say that “mountain bikers turn trails into powder”?
Well, let’s have a look at a horse. First off, horses are not small creatures.
They weigh much, much, much, much more than a mountain biker and his bike. So
just how does a biker go about turning a trail into powder? Pixie dust? Because
I sure as hell know that it’s impossible to turn a trail into powder on a
mountain bike. Sure, a little dust might kick up, but then look at your horse
friends. They literally kick dirt all over the place. And by the way, I don’t
remember the last time I saw a horse back rider out with a shovel fixing the
ruts he puts in a wet trail.
Greg
P.S. - When caught riding on trails closed to bikes, in my experience, they lie
("I didn't know it is closed" -- but they don't offer to leave!), threaten ("I'm
going to bust your head")… I highly doubt that this ever happened. My guess is
you made up parts of your ‘essay’ (or bitter attempt at) just to seem more
plausible.
P.S.S. – Take a look at many of the world class trails in British Columbia; some
of the best erosion resistant built trails, diverting water to natural spots.
I’d like to see your horse friends make anything half as decent.
