Hey, that's my park!

[Thorn]

Just wanted to vent that we went to Coyote Hills park last weekend and saw a parking lot full of cyclists OUTSIDE the park presumably to avoid the $5.00 fee. Folks, it's $5.00. C'mon in, help your park if you want it to be there for a ride.

One of my biggest pet peeves....if you use the park, pay the fee. If you can afford that $1500+ bike, you can afford to pay for the trail pass.

Our local club used to start at a State Park. Very convenient with good facilities. Some complained about paying the $5 day pass (yet they'll drive 40 miles from home in their gas guzzling vehicle). The start has been moved, but they still ride into the park to use the facilities. Arrrggggh...and then they wonder why the parks get closed or the facilities are locked....
