You have to be kidding??? 20mph, that including the stops you have,
and the times you have to slow down for kids???

I thought, trail speed was 15mph. Even at that, with the traffic
other than bikes, it is hard to archive at times.

I also didn't know, it was "required" for folks to move to the right,
when someone hollers on your left. I thought, it was a courtesy call,
to let people know you were passing at a "safe speed".

I think, Dennis is correct, we do need trail etiquette signs!
