They’re great trails, I particularly like some of the high speed sections of the Commonwealth games track. It’s not as all round great as Stromlo by a fair margin, but it’s not a terrible way to spend the day.
I'm usually pretty tolerant of the place, but it's at a new level at the moment.
I couldn't see a dad in sight to have a go at lol.
The place is good, people tend to be a bit shit at times
It is just common sense, which is not very common. For the safety of all walk elsewhere. Also the never of parent locally who think it's ok for their small children to ride backwards through the dirt lumps!!! You can't see them and don't the parents get pissy when you suggest they supervise more closely!
It's the new wave of coronavirus fitness fanatics. They'll all go back to work soon and get back to cheeseburgering themselves to heart disease and leave our trails alone.
rode today, trk work yesterday, lost count of the people walking/picking mushrooms in the pines at macedon & they all headed past the large do not enter signs -tree felling in progress, 4 staff were onsite yesterday..didn’t seem to bother the countless hoards walking wherever they wanted,
bring on COVID-20, that only kills dumbcunts, with ruthless efficiency.
I agree with you in principle, but I'm greatly concerned that I may well be a dumbcunt.
I dont get it. Thankfully the walkers the pretty rare. Had someone trail running on the front climb and he got shitty at the suggestion he not run there. And came super close to cleaning up walkers on Skyline back in the day before the rollers were put in and when it was a fast section - lucky they jumped in time!
as long as you are not a selfish and over entitled one, you should be fine. (see edit above).
Many here have ear buds in now so bell ringing all you want doesn't always make any difference.
I gave up on bells years ago, simpler and safer to pass them as fast as possible and minimise the time available to them to do anything stupid. If they're on the left they get a polite wide berth, if they're being annoying they get buzzed.
That's the best, isn't it? Even better when they're coming towards you, but they've been looking straight down at the ground like they're hoping to find fifty bucks just lying there, or they're chatting away at each other*, or looking everyfookinwhere except directly in front of them, and then THEY tell YOU to "Look where you're going!"
Yes, I agree and and the other side line usually is the best and safest way to get around the peds.
Yep, I had that a few times with people who should know better walking towards you and head down buried in their phones. I mean, would it be too much to ask to watch where you are going since you must know that there are many others about. Groups stopping for a chat and blocking a path or trail is another thing that grinds my gears. I usually let it all go now and won't let other people's stupid mess up my day.
I am in no way suggesting that you get anxiety, I am only suggesting that many of us may find this useful
