Okay, maybe you're just "using the trail to connect to your real route". Fine. But ride like a you're a visitor. Slow the $&@# down.
I don't have a bell.
Pathletes, I like it. I usually call them MUP Racers. There are other names that are even more appropriate (like the French word for shower), but I can't say them here.
