What is the nuttiest thing you have seen while riding on the trail?

Q: What is the nuttiest thing you have seen while riding on the trail at night, and was it real or hallucination due to sleep deprivation, dehydration, or a combination? – R. Jensen

A: I saw some really strange and different characters while riding and teaching a SRAM Gold Rusch Tour women’s mtb clinic at Highbridge Park in NYC.  They were totally supportive of us riding, but just were not the usual crowd I might see on a mountain bike ride.  I’ll leave the description at that.

The weirdest hallucination was seeing an Asian woman selling tropical fruits at a stand in the middle of a glacier in New Zealand.  It was many days into an Eco Challenge and I remember veering over and asking my teammates if anyone had any money for some mangos.  Sadly, no one had any cash.
