Ha, oh. Hope you had some fun all the same! Meeting oat44 like that does rather seem like Mary encountering the angel.
Even though the one factor in why this game has stuck around is probably StreetView, I think every once in a while we have to do something that's not on SV.
I only saw three people when I was there, a couple who were going along the trail quite slowly, and the aforementioned fast rider. Like your encounters, they all looked at me a bit as if I was lost, although I tried to do my best impression of purposeful walking. Obviously, LFGSS has always been about using bikes inappropriate for the purpose, so we did our bit.

I spent some time tramping through the undergrowth and emerging onto trails. Several times, cyclists on more appropriate bikes stopped to ask me if I was OK because I was clearly a fish out of water. If Oatsy hadn't turned up and started an increasingly less subtle game of "colder, warmer" I might have spent more time looking for it than I did riding out there.
