Came acrossed 3 seperate groups that was in search of there members within an hour on Sunday.
First one wasn't fully grasped at first but a younger rider...I presumed male 130# in new duds on a new doo with gopro helmet mount flies into the 3 way intersection we are at from the right, stops quickly and promptly gets out the phone as he walks to the signage...I think nothing of it except he is alone....we turn left and ride on.....3 miles down the trail is a young lady, well dressed ...a teenager? sitting on another new Doo is facing us, helmet off with phone in hand....I slow up and give an inquisitive thumbs up. She glances up from her phone at me and gives me the closed fist last in line signal....lol. ....We ride on. about 3 miles later we come to a slight downhill section and see another new Doo approaching and giving me the palms down slow up signal even though I'm doing 20 mph, ....as we pass each other, I see up ahead a sled, you guessed it,... another new Doo with rider parked on the trail. In front of it you could see the fresh turn around from the guy who we just saw coming at us going back to gather up his doo brood......LMAO....if yur a family....how do you let yourself get strung out like that and NOT wait at every intersection and gather up the family????
Number 2...
About 3 miles down the trail we cross paths with a rider facing us sitting about 150' from a 4 way stop....Think little of it. We stop, have a sip a water at the 4 way. A minute later he fires up his poo, turns around and heads out, now ahead of us. We follow...a good 5 or more miles later and we come to the next intersection where his buddy is sitting....not sure which way HIS buddy chose to go.
Number 3...
so about 10 miles later we are approaching Hy 8 and catch a young fella on a Poo driving left side, center and right side of the trail at a blistering 10-20 mph with and occasional throttle blip to spin the track for 50' or so, but then back to 15 mph....LOL ....we watch and eventually pass ....2-3 miles later we come up to his group waiting at the next intersection.... This time I ask one of the family....are you waiting for some one ....Yeah....did you see a Poo 550 back there ....I said yes....he will be here in about 15 minutes at his speed.....LOL

) If we ever get spaced out the rule of thumb is keep going straight on the same trail. Any change of trail at a intersection you stop and wait. And...always have situational awareness..meaning, know generally your location and where we are going. This can save on a lot of hassle.
