Jeesch! So much for trail etiquette! . . . yeah, i try to go to a trail near my house once a week just for the pleasure of riding on a level path, but during the week i always stay on the roads - very hilly, but beautiful. Fortunately, i haven't run into any intentional trail shinanigans like you described, but small children on wobbly bikes and lots of dogs are always a concern. Big dogs with little owners scare me - i'm like "are you sure you're holding on to Fido?!" And snakes??? Fortunately any snakes i've ever seen around here are only grass snakes - not very big. i would have freaked out to see the one you saw! Yikes! - j.
