Matt,
Thanks for the advice. I rode the same trails again and this time I
used my body to drive ther bike and hardly used the rear break. I only
came off the bike once in a four our ride.

Mike, I've also observed animal behavior...elk and deer tend to flee
from *anything* that is larger and fast moving. The larger and more fast
moving, the greater the response...it is a typical flight response that
they use for protection from predators. Put a sumo suit on and run
through the woods and you'll get a similar response. I'm not denying the

1. Do critters care how a trail came into existance once it's there?
2. What percentage of human-made trails in the U.S. are made with bulldozers?

You are NOT qualified to do anything more than make unfounded assertions
that you extrapolate from anecdotal information intended to illustrate
entirely different sets of conditions. But, thanks for playing.
For example, you recently asserted that mountain biking is inherently
dangerous BECAUSE a tourist riding his bike on a roadway in South America

When backed into a corner, Michael J. Vandeman capitulates with the
same old "did you say something" because he has nothing left, he
cannot refute the facts that have been presented so he babbles his
tired nonsense. He's been cyber slapped and he's incoherent from
getting his ass kicked so much.

I'm sorry that the complexity of my simple question made you tired,
Dr. Vandeman. Don't worry, though. Basic reading and writing skills
will come more naturally to you over time. The more you practice, the
easier it will get.
Feel free to respond when (and if) you figure out what you intended to

The PURPOSE for which you take a drug overrules everything else.
estrogen? Very powerful hormone. Stopping the reproductive process is
no joke. Testosterone is no more powerful a hormone than estrogen. You
just don't think of it that way because estrogen doesn't performance
enhance for sport. IMO, regulating the process of creating life makes
