HEAR, HEAR!  Rudeness knows no distance, and rude people are rude people, no
matter how far they are riding.  If this type of behavior is a problem, report
it to ride management.  If it is generalized, it is time for managers in your
area to give a spiel about trail etiquette at ride briefings.  If it is
pinpointed to one or two riders, management may want to chat with them
individually.
