I'm not concerned with the bikes messing up the grooming.
I'm more concerned about meeting one of these "silent naturists" out on the trail on a blind corner, even at 40 mph it's not going to be pretty! Who's fault is it? Who is registered and who has insurance? The guy on the sled.

I love being outdoors all year, I get it. IMO ride your bikes (I do ride mt bikes on off road trails during the non snow months) on bike path's. These trails are 90 percent built and maintained by people who pay (through sled registration, fund raisers and donations), not to mention the time that people volunteer to groom and maintain the trails.

I have to say I totally agree with HomeWood, when I come up and slowdown, stop if I have too, because of someone walking there dog, skiing or snowshoeing on a snowmobile trail, I always wave and say hello. What I get back in return is usually a blank stare or a look of discust. It's designated as a snowmobile trail, if I'm doing 40 and that is within the legal limit and you are walking you dog on the trail.........why am I the bad guy??
