Yield to Uphill Riders

We all love the downhill, but skidding out of control is not cool. Expect uphill riders, and be ready to
move to one side of the trail, stopping until your line is clear.

Tread on Trail

Thanks for yielding to other riders – but don’t ride off into the
bushes to do it, as this widens and
damages trails. Instead, put a foot
down and feel good knowing that
your tread on the trail keeps the
singletrack narrow and fun.

Look, Listen, Smile

As trail users, we rely on one another. Have fun, and keep your
eyes and ears open. Smile and say,
hello! You are in one of the best
mountain bike areas in the world.
