RIDE WITH GRATITUDE
https://www.kingdomtrails.org/ride-with-gratitude
RESPECT THIS GIFT
Riding trails on public lands is a gift, not a right. That hiker you just passed? She might own the land we're riding on. With Every ride, let's remember to be grateful for the landowners and others who make it possible.
PROTECT NATURE
Enjoy nature, don't ruin it. Keep on the trails. Erosion is our single highest impact when we're out riding. Skidding causes erosion. Cutting corners can cut off access. Riding muddy trails messes it up for everyone. If we see animals, don't bother them, remember them. Pick up trash, pack it out, carpool here and back.
CARE FOR OTHERS
We share the trails with others, and they have the same rights and responsibilities as each of us. If someone needs help, we help. If someone needs encouragement, we share our enthusiasm. And if it's going to make the situation better, we dismount. Be nice, yield to others, and give a smile.
BE THE EXAMPLE
Being aggressive has no place in mountain biking. We know our limits, and we ride within them. Beyond the ride, let's park where we're supposed to, keep the tunes to a dull roar, and leave the IPAs for apres somewhere else. Reckless behaviour? A simple, polite call out will do.
