FWIW I prefer bikes to dogs on the trail, but that is just me.<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 12:10 PM, Jim and_or Ginny Owen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:spiriteagle99@hotmail.com" target="_blank">spiriteagle99@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

During the Monarch Pass traverse, of 41 bikes that we met that day, only one stopped. That really is pretty typical. We hike with a dog who is scared of bikes after being nearly run over one day. I've had to scream at bikers to stop when we needed a moment to get off trail and out of their way. Most seem to just want to squeeze by, despite the fact that we are holding a large leaping, barking dog, rather than wait the minute or two it takes us to get him off the path. <br>
<br>On the CDT there aren't many horses, but I have wondered what would happen if bikes met horses in some of the narrow single track sections. It wouldn't be pretty. <br> <br>Ginny<br><br><a href="http://www.spiriteaglehome.com/" target="_blank">http://www.spiriteaglehome.com/</a><br>
