[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2831688, member: 115658"] 2 years ago, upon leaving a club rifle range, we drove down hill and to right on exit road. A hiking/bike trail merged from the left, downhill, onto the exit road. I slowly drove down the exit road. Force of habit caused me pause before a merging, partially hidden, hiking trail and as I did a woman/person on a bike zipped onto the exit road from the hiking trail. Entry onto club property is restricted to club members. Had I not paused, it would have been zip-bang-splat, she was going about 20 mph. My guess is that she gained entry upon tailgating a club member at the entry gate. I continued to entry/exit gate, slowly passing her on level ground, and saw her about 100 yards back in my rear-view mirror upon reaching the entry/exit gate. I quickly dialed the combo, drove thru, & locked the gate. Then I waited for the woman/person to show up. Upon her arrival I asked to see her membership card. She looked stunned - "what, like what!" I drove away & saw her hoist her bike over the 4-foot-high locked gate - did not have lock combo. Stuff happens when you least expect it. The deers that live on club property are smarter than bike (pedals) riders. I would have heard a HD. If a deer was riding the bike, I would have not locked the gate until the deer (membership not needed) drove thru. [/QUOTE]
