To make sure this is a popular mountainbiking location for years to come, and to keepour good relationship with local landownersand other path users, we ask you to followthe advice below:
• Let other path users know you are comingas early as possible. We find a tinkle of ourbell and a friendly greeting and smile help us all enjoy the paths together.
• Sometimes our fellow path users don’t hearus, so we slow down for them (sometimeseven stop) and keep our patience (and oursmiles!)
• Remember it is good to go fast when youcan see what is ahead, but please take careand watch your speed on blind corners and dips.
• Please take extra care near wildlife andleave the environment as you find it.
• If the route looks very wet and fragileplease go slowly (or walk) and try to stick tothe line of the track.
• Help land managers and others to worksafely and effectively. Respect requests forreasonable limitations on when and whereyou can go. See ‘this specific route’ on each card.
• The route description may change over timeso please remain flexible with your plans andbe ready to use alternative routes.
• We would recommend you use anordnance survey map along with our routecards. This will help if you take a wrong turn!
• Check the weather and make sure youhave all the equipment you need for your day out. If you are in any doubt please popinto one of our cycle centres for some friendly advice!
Although all the above is important, ourmain priority is that you take care andHAVE FUN!
We hope to see you enjoying the trails andbeautiful environment with a smile on yourface in the near future!
