The TRT "compromise" doesn't work.

On the TRT Tahoe Meadows to Tunnel Creek, section, on a "No Mountain
Bike day," I passes 50+ Mountain Bikes. I challenged many of them
about riding on a closed day, and except for ONE, I got replies of the
flavor "F*ck you, will ride where and when we want." I think there was
MORE hostility because of this "compromise."

I talked to the director the TRT about it, and got an unsatisfactory
answer. I will not be giving them any money.
