+++ GOOD RIDING CONDITIONS? At the meeting we were reminded that we are stewards of responsible riding. It's one of our main purposes for being a club. We should set examples of responsible riding whenever we can, even if no one is looking. Not only do we leave an impression in peoples minds that see us we also leave tracks. Some tracks are very damaging to our beloved trail system and if we abuse them we might lose them. We ARE ALL jonesing for a ride these days but REMEMBER:
>::>::>::>::>::> Don't ride after rainfall. Rule of thumb: wait 24 hours.
>::>::>::>::>::> Don't ride after a thaw. You be the judge here. Soft underfoot? Your tires will definetly do damage. >::>::>::>::>::> Don't widen the trail. This is your chance to play in the puddles. Going around does more harm than good. >::>::>::>::>::> Don't make new trails. Someone will eventually follow your path and then we'll have to kill both of you.
