Trail Etiquette Reminder: Respect Our Riding Space

 

As the riding season continues, it's essential to remind ourselves of the responsibilities we share in maintaining and respecting our riding spaces. Our trails and club properties are precious, and how we treat them today will determine their availability and quality for future riders. Here are a few important guidelines to keep in mind:

 

Take Your Garage with You

It's crucial to pack out what you pack in. This includes everything from spare parts to snack wrappers. Dispose of trash responsibly and take all waste back home with you.

Drink Boxes, Tim Hortons Cups and Campfires Don't Mix

While it might seem convenient to toss your Tim Hortons cups into the fire pit this practice is harmful. Burning plastic and coated paper releases toxins into the air and leaves behind harmful residues. Instead, carry a small trash bag with you and dispose of these items properly.

 

Respect the Trails: No New Paths

Our trails are carefully planned and maintained for safety and enjoyment. Creating new trails or marking new paths with arrows can disrupt the ecosystem, lead to soil erosion, and damage vegetation. Stick to the established trails and enjoy the routes that have been thoughtfully designed for you.

 

Avoid Being a "Paddock Pirate"

Riding in the parking lot and tearing it up not only damages the surface but also poses a risk to other riders and their vehicles. This behaviour, often referred to as being "Paddock Pirates," is not acceptable. For your safety and the safety of others, please ride only on designated trails or the kids' riding track.

 

Keep the Club Property Clean

A clean environment is a happy environment. Whether you're taking a break, finishing your ride, or enjoying a snack, always make sure to leave the area as you found it—or better. This means picking up any trash, keeping the facilities clean, and respecting the property.

 

Let's Keep Riding Fun and Sustainable

Our club thrives because of the respect and care we show for our shared spaces. By following these guidelines, we ensure that everyone can enjoy the trails safely and responsibly. Let's work together to maintain the beauty and functionality of our riding areas.

 

Access Road: The access road into the property is not maintained, be careful when driving on it.

 

Fire Pit: If you wish to use the fire pit, follow these guidelines:

 

1. Prior Notification: Before starting a fire, contact the county. The club holds a fire permit, but it is crucial to inform the county each time you plan to use the fire pit.

2. Contact Information: The telephone number for county notification is displayed on the signboard at the club.

3. Fire Safety: Maintain control of the fire at all times.

4. Extinguishing the Fire: Before leaving, ensure that the fire is completely extinguished and safe to be left unattended.
