Yesterday's ride was an ordeal. I have never seen so many many idiots on the trail in one day.

  • Four occasions of dogs off-leash and wandering across the trail. 
  • A guy riding with no hands that kept tugging and his shirt and shorts while weaving all over the trail. 
  • Two occasions of people walking side-by-side with dogs on leashes blocking the trail and instead of getting out of the way, they just smile and act like stupidity gives them the right to do as they please. 
  • Twice, I met the same guy walking with hear phones, reading a book, and wandering all over the trail. 
  • There was a group of people standing in the intersection below the dam who were blocking the trail in three directions. Instead of moving, they just stood still and riders had to go off the trail to get around them. 
  • A rider stopped in middle of the trail in a curve drinking water. 
  • Two occasions of runners running on the wrong side of the trail.

My report of a front loader working on the trail the other day apparently was premature. It appears it only graded the one spot where I saw it. Nothing else was done.

Greenway and trail are okay.

Saw a front loader working on the trail today. What a surprise! And a tree that has been down on the greenway for over a week has been removed. I checked, and yes, a foot race event is coming up in two weeks. As I have said before, the city wants to make sure event competitors have a safe surface to run on. However, for those of us who use the greenway and trail daily, year round, we must fend for ourselves. Rocks, ruts, limbs hanging over the trail, fallen limbs, down trees, mud holes and loose sand are just things we have to deal with daily.

I had extensive dental surgery Friday so I haven't ridden since Thursday. Hopefully, I'll be back in the saddle soon.

With no recent heavy storms, the greenway and trail should not have any serious problems.

The Salem Lake Marina is due to open at the end of the month.

The new Quarry Park is due to open soon. It will be an interesting side ride to add miles to the greenway and trail ride.
