There's a little (illegal) riding area off the 60 near Pyrite in Riverside that I had never ridden before, so I decide to give it a try on Friday (it's real close to me).
A few people were there, play riding in those small four wheel buggy things, so I stopped and asked them the scoop.
"We've never been ticketed here, but local police kick everyone out occasionally. There aren't any No Trespassing signs, just No Littering, so it's OK".
This is contrary to what I've been reading, but it's not a weekend, so I decide to chance it.
After three attempts at a small, not too steep, not too difficult hill (only one successful try), I picked the bike off the little hill and rode down.
Guess who was standing at the bottom of the hill waiting for me? One of Riverside's uniformed finest. :yikes:
I was informed that someone in a silver F-150 had been driving through the area and was firing a gun. One of the buggy guys called the cops on his cell phone (he must have thought he was immune to ticketing). :joke:
Riverside cop: "You're not really supposed to be riding here, so maybe you should leave pretty soon. We do give tickets out here, but I ride too, so I'm not giving you a ticket".
That riding area sucked anyway. :nener:
