	I just got an email from Park Watch and they've been noticing people parking on the shoulder of the entrance road. The car(s) have bike racks which lead them to believe it was folks out for a ride. I saw one tonight coming in. If you ride Beatty, or know anyone that rides Beatty, please make sure to park in the parking lot and not on the shoulder. Our relationship with Parks and Rec. is crucial to the club's, and mountain biking's, future in Charlotte. Dont wanna pi . them off.... Thanks Folks -Banjo

	Yeah, not cool. I do suspect however that guilty parties don't post here and like to ride FJB in a full kit 2 hours after a rain. Lots of parking across Weddington @ the church and soon at the low income apartment complex closer to McKee

	doesnt make much sense to me either, theres plenty of parking and nearby restrooms in the lots. Guess some people just cant wait an extra 2 minutes to park to get on that Strava segment

Guess some people just cant wait an extra 2 minutes to park to get on that Strava segment They are parking outside the gate to make sure they don't get locked in if they are still riding after dark. However, they shouldn't be riding at night unless it is an organized night ride.

	Witnessed this myself last week while running at the park. One of the two cars was amount guys in full gear cyclocross riding. Met him on the trail was polite probably just misinformed.

If they want to avoid getting locked in, they should park at the church up the road. Parks and Rec. has been pretty cool with us riding and I'd hate to see that relatioship ruined.
