Yes bloody angry bigger. When he calmed down it turns out he’s moved from London whereas I’m over the hill. So I established calmly that I was ‘more local’ than him. A petty point but he was the one banging on about ruining his area etc etc.
As for the Glentress point. One can see why thatd rankle.
A sidenote/off tangent-I still remember the early days of Summer Lightning etc were riders petulantly rode the trails before they were open, trashing tracks etc. Cyclists are almost like immature children in adults bodies at times. Carefree abandon to others, people around them and all about selfishness.
