Here's a quote from another thread below: "I was there 3 weeks ago and rode 48 miles of singletrack in 2 days and saw 2 other bikers total. It was heaven!!" I didn't want to hijack that thread, so I started a new one so I could go off on this tangent.
Does everyone really prefer not seeing any other bikers on the trails? I kind of like the cameraderie and kinship of other riders. Even chatting a moment with another biker as you pass on an epic ride is nice, even just to talk about the weather or trail conditions. Groups rides can be fun, and there's always someone to talk bikes with. Seems like it'd be kind of lonely if you were one of only a handful of bikers in town.
