Well Officer, if you say I'm trespassing then I guess I am

It was a beautiful day on Saturday morning. The rain had cleared and the sun was shining. Me and my biker buddies where off to ride on our favorite trails that we've enjoyed for as long as I can remember. In fact, my dad has even enjoyed those trails since the mid seventies. These are the trails I spoke about in my previous post.

We set out down the side of airport road in the ditch towards Dufferin County Forest. Chris was leading followed by me and then Steve Hart, a fellow believer. Chris and I arrived at the beginning of the trail but Steve Hart was no where to be seen. We became worried that he crashed and was hurt. I turned back to see what happened. As I approached the edge of the road I noticed a police cruiser with the cherries flashing on the side of the road in the direction that we had come from. Now I must say that riding our bikes on the side of the road in not entirely legal, however I live in the sticks so its over looked most of the time.

I couldn't see Steve Hart from where I was so I was still worried the he had crashed. At risk of being fined by the police I headed back down the ditch to make sure Steve was ok. He was fine but unfortunately was in a little dip so I couldn't see him until I was very close. The officer had cut him off so he had to stop. Boo! I could have easily turned around and lost the cop but he already had my friends name so I went down to meet the officer.

To make a long story short, we were both fined for trespassing in the forest. Why trespassing you ask. Well, two years ago they started putting No Motorized Vehicles signs up around the forest. I never understood why. I figured it was because of the people who grow weed in there. But thats not why according to the cop. I must say that the officer was a real good man, ptl. He told us that some horse riders had gotten together and formed a club and decided to get a ban put on all motorized vehicles so they could enjoy the trails all to themselves. And to top it all off, the horse people hired the OPP (didn't think that was possible) to patrol the forest and fine people. Ok now I'm getting pissed.

What kind of selfish people would first of all, claim government property to themselves, and then hire the police to fine people that came on the property. That's just f-ing ignorant. These horses ass people are frikin rich and have thousands of acres of land and could buy more, they just like our trails. Now us off-roaders who generally don't have much money and can't afford land to ride on can't even go to the county forest to have fun.

I have some ideas about how to turn things around. The bottom line is that nobody is gonna kick me off property that I have every right to be on.
