Oh, you should have been out at Springs today on Prairie..
There was a running event going on.
Had no idea going in at YMCA, there was absolutely no signage and nobody in the shack.
Must have been 120 runners strung out along Prairie and Mill Pond around 10am and I seemingly had to pass every one of them. Everyone of them must have had two ear buds in.
Most were cool.
But one clown tried to bump my handlebar as I went by.. Another gave me a tongue lashing about the trail being closed to mountain bikes. Of course it wasn't. He was running with a big Siberian Husky, it must have been 70 degrees, poor dog with a DA owner.
It almost got ugly with his name calling and cussing. When I started to get off the bike, he started running a little faster.
Little to no signage of anything, except the normal 10k/5k signs at the start of Mill Pond. Which are often put out a day or two before any event.
Apparently from what the front office told me, Springs doesn't close the trail for anybody during these events.. And apparently they don't do a good job of informing participants about the mixed use status of the trail or riders about the event occurring itself..
Rider beware.
