Trail braids

  Repaired braid on Waggle Dance 
  Originally uploaded by bent udder.

If there's an obstacle on the trail that everyone else is riding, you should be able to ride it too. If you can't, or won't, there's no shame in dismounting and pushing over it.

But riding around it is pretty crap - it widens the trail, and in the case of Waggle Dance, most of which is off camber, it forces the trail down the hillside.

This tree root is about 2" high - it's easy to ride over once you've got the hang of it. If you can't ride it, don't force the trail off to the right where all that wood is piled up. it's piled up there for a reason...

That's the root just along from the top of regurgitator. Perhaps people were feeling a little too tired to hop over it after climbing.

Or possibly couldn't handle anymore anymore "rootage" after deliverance.
