Local Trail Encounter

**MyRubyE** · 08-04-2010, 06:51 PM

People really shouldn't be taking a pee-pee and talking on their cell phone right in the middle of a trail, especially when a forty something mother of two decides to ride one of her local trails after dinner to get out and breathe and get some exercise, even though she knew she wouldn't hit the trail until 7:00 p.m. (doesn't get dark yet here in NE until after 8:30). It's where she goes when she doesn't want to go far, and still has plenty of rocks and roots and single track off the main trails to keep it interesting enough for a good 10 mile ride. But, I didn't expect to see Fountain Man with his pants down right in the middle of the trail when I turned the corner. I really didn't need to see that... it was a little too much nature for me.

Sorry, but I'm still LMAO

I hope you laughed out loud at him, and he heard you!

Even my boy-child learned at the ripe old age of 4 1/2 that one goes pee-pee behind a tree or shrub in emergencies, and at the very least NOT on surfaces which people must traverse.

(gives "puddle jumping" a whole new meaning!)

Good thing i'm not drinking anything at the moment..

That happened to me @ a 4hr event a few weeks ago..I came to a bit of singletrack w NO passing space & a dude's doing a wee on the side..I blurted out "Oh, WTH.. ooops" and laughed whilst trying to look ahead..

I have to confess..I don't always pick the greatest tree watering places

. I have made friends w grass trees

Jeez, if I have to take a nature break I try to hide behind a tree!

At my local trail tonight there was a band, drums, sax, who knows what else. They were pretty terrible probably got kicked out of the house by their mom or wife. It was pretty odd. No peeing men this time. I have rode up on someone, I laughed hysterically which probably made him a bit self conscious!

**MyRubyE** · 08-04-2010, 07:19 PM

It was hysterical. The look on his face when he saw me on the bike and how fast he scurried into the woods. Odd thing is that there were plenty of trees for him to hide behind and I would never had seen him. I guess he thought, no one would be coming by at the time, but it's always pretty busy in the area and there's a soccer field right in the middle of the trail system w/plenty of people still out playing, don't know what he was thinking. Oh well, I got in a good laugh tonight, which I needed.

P'er or perv?

I would have taken his photo, make him think twice about repeating that behavior.

**crazycanuck** · 08-04-2010, 11:27 PM

Zen..I've been caught out unexpectedly whilst watering a tree on the trail...So it's not just de men of the world that do it...

**snowroo** · 08-05-2010, 06:06 AM

maybe he's had an encounter with poison ivy. That would stop you going behind a tree

**limewave** · 08-05-2010, 07:22 AM

Naked men is one of the hazards of mountain biking.

If they're not relieving themselves, they're changing out in the open at the trail head! Sheesh!

I love that comment . . . "puddle jumping"

One of these days I'll have to tell you about the Topless Jogging Granny I encountered (unexpectedly) on a blind corner about 5 years ago this summer.

That's the scariest image I've had in my head for quite a while!

I was out for a run last fall and saw the same guy pee 3 times about 6 inches off the trail. I was more amazed that he had to pee 3 times during a 13 mile run than I was by the fact that he wasn't bothering to hide.

**Zen** · 08-06-2010, 12:31 PM

There is no way this not perv behavior.

**solobiker** · 08-06-2010, 01:42 PM

I was on a hike at a local favorite in Boulder and when I was hiking back down from the summit there was a women smack dab in the middle of the trail in mid-squat peeing away. I had to laugh...this trail is heavily traveled..I am sure she got her socks wet becasue she turned and tried to walk quickly away with her pants down.

There used to also be this on guy that DH and I would see frequently in the foothills who would always be jogging or hiking with a backpack and wearing a black spedo. We have not seen him for a few years which I am not complaining about.
