    Yes, it is the wave of the future. As gear becomes even lighter, footwear continues to improve, and hikers become more fit, the need to impose hiking speed limits will become apparent. It's a safety concern.

    When I'm nude, I'm not comfortable above about 15mph.

    I've tried biking nude. Can't say it was pleasant.
    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
    You never know which one is talking.

    Frackin ultralighters. I saw one SoBo sprint past me a few days ago going down rocky top, he must've been going at least 25. Need more rangers out there ticketing the bastards.

    I was along the blue ridge parkway, taking a break near the road , with other thru hikers. It was June and hot, so I was topless.....( calm down I am a man). A car came around the bend, it was a blue ridge parkway ranger police car.
    All of sudden he screeched to halt right where we were taking a break. As an officer jumped out of the driver side, I stood up, he was looking right at me and walking toward me. Then he went from serious cop guy to smiling ranger. He explained that from the road it looked like I was totally nude, he was gonna bust me. In the past he has seen nude hikers, most likely on the solstice .

    Wow, I wish I could hike 20 MPH. Being able to do a thru-hike in 2 weeks would be awesome.

    "If you have been involved in a rear-end collision and you have been injured, the best thing you can do is consult an attorney to discuss your legal options."

    Really? I always thought the best thing to do when injured is to go to the hospital. Silly me, I've got to start thinking more about my finances!

    I lived near Chesapeake, Va back in the mid-90's, so just curious, which road is that?

    I think that is the sign post on the gravel road that goes from the wildlife loop to the "flats" on Assateague Island National Wildlife Refuge.

    Much of my family is from Chincoteague and I use to go there reguarly as a kid (but I didn't grow up on the Island) and even today we have a summer house there. Everytime we all meet there we go cycling around that refuge on Assateague before eating breakfast, but maybe I just haven't noticed the sign, I don't know. Now I'm really curious where this sign is.

    The sign is at the gate to the service road running north from the wildlife loop at Chincoteague NWR.

    You guys are all on the wrong track. The sign is for the wild ponies. No galloping over 20 mph & no nude riders.
