TRAIL TIPS
Trail Riding Habits
By Harold Morrissette
Here are a few tips on Trail Riding habits.
- Yield right of way
to pedestrians, bicyclist, and horseback riders. I recommend when coming upon someone on horseback to pull over to
the right side of the trail and shut off your bike in order to prevent spooking the horse. The rider will always thank you.
When approaching a person on foot or bicycle slow down to 5 to 10 miles per hour. This will prevent them from being dusted
out. Then travel past them about 100 feet before resuming speed.
- Hill Climbing.
I recommend that you let the person in front of you get to the top first. The reason for this is that if they have to stop
on the hill you can jump off your bike to assist them. Also you will not be in the same situation partly up a hill and trying
to continue from a complete stop.

3.
Stopping on the Trail. If you want to stop for a rest or have a problem with your bike, pull to the far right
of the trail. Try to avoid stopping on the top edge of a hill or blind corner. Dont park your machine in the middle of the
trail.
4.
Private Property. When riding on private property which permission has been obtained, realize that there could
be children playing along these trails. Do not let speed be a factor in an accident. Some of the landowners concern is the
speed at which people drive down the trail. If you are close to a highly populated area please slow down.
