Perhaps if the riders in question would leave their SPOT units on when they are riding the nasty bits, instead of turning them off, people might be a little less likely to question their integrity. For instance, up to Grant, their SPOT was on; from Grant to Lima, it mysteriously was turned off, so there is no documentation that they rode that muddy mess others suffered through instead of taking the parallel paved route. SPOT was off again during the muddy rail-trail mess between Macks Inn and Warm Springs, where there is a parallel paved section; so no documentation that they rode the rail trail. SPOT off again today just before the off-road section past Brook's Lake. I don't personally know what is happening out there, but the pattern is curious to say the least.
