Regarding gates on the trail, common sense must reign supreme.
Either group A would need to slam the gate shut in Group B's face or else
leave it open and let Group B shut it.
They could do the chivalrous thing by waiting and shutting the gate behind
Group B, but it is a race, not dinner on the town.
