Sound Judgment
Trail Riding
Use sound judgment when trail riding;
that means riding on a trail that fits
your ability level. If the trail is pretty
rugged, standing up on your footrests
will make it easier for you to endure
the rough terrain.
Make yourself visible by using head-
lights and taillights, and pull com-
pletely off the trail if you need to stop.
Outsloped trails (trails that slant to
allow rain to run off) make trail riding
a bit more challenging. Accepting that
challenge means keeping your weight
shifted into the slope. Denying the
challenge means sliding off the trail.
It also helps to know which trails you
can ride and who else might be on
those same trails. These are signs cur-
rently used in some areas to designate
trail types and restrictions.
