"Hi folks, we just got word from someone associated with the GBCTA:
Incident at West Bragg Creek.

"The GBCTA has received a report that several mountain bikers were injured on the west Bragg Creek trails after being clotheslined by wire strung across the trail between trees. Cochrane RCMP has not received an incident report, but encourages trail users to use caution on the trails. We are attempting to obtain further information as to the location and date where the incidents occurred. Anyone with information on these incidents, or further encounters are encouraged to contact Cochrane RCMP immediately, or call 911.

"Note that the name of the trail the incident occurred on was not provided. If you do come across something like this, get some pics/video, note the precise location and try to make it safe so that nobody else gets hurt."
Geez, I sometimes hike in the area during shoulder season (don't own a mountain bike) and the bikers are all super friendly, cant see the motivation for this.
