Glass on trail at SB

On Sunday evening, I had a flat resulting from some glass on the Main trail, just past the small downed tree.  I call it the "upper" section of the main trail that is accessed immediately after Rollercoaster.  The glass was after the small berms & before the first wooden structure.  I cleared off as much of the loose stuff as I could, but some was impacted deep in the dirt.  As we get more rain & washout, there may be more gnarly bits of glass showing up.
Just a heads-up, as it gave my tire quite a slash.
Anybody else have issues with the glass?
Sad

Kicked some off the trail app 2 weeks ago Saturday.  Got the worst of it out of the way but it sounds like it may have been more buried. Luckily no damage on this end.  Sorry to hear you had the flat.

Thanks for stopping and actually helping the situation.  Same story minus the flat tire out at PRP, glass is everywhere out there (though most of it is intact, luckily).  The softball players literally molest that park .. but ya know .. watch out for those MTB'ers.

Part of the problem is that there are trash piles there with lots of bottles. Kids from the area are breaking them. It would be nice if we could organize a cleanup to remove and haul out some of that trash.

Sherman Branch? The glass is not malicious... most of the trail was formerly a trash heap... Likely rain and traffic bringing old glass/trash to surface. Thanks for cleaning it up though!
