Plan Your Ride: Emily/Outing ATV Trail
Guided Group Rides
Groups are limited to a maximum of 25 vehicles.
Group Ride Etiquette
1. Ride with your lights ON! It's the law.
2. Everyone is responsible for the person behind them. Be sure they can see you before taking any turns. If you lose sight of the person behind you, stop and wait for them. The person in front of you will wait and so on until the Ride Leader sees something is wrong.
3. If you get separated from the group, stay in one place and wait for us to find you. We WILL look for you.
4. Get the Ride Leader’s name & phone number. This will come in handy.
5. If you decide to leave the group at any time please let the Ride Leader know so they don't go looking for you.
6. Group rides are usually slower paced because of the variety of riders involved. Please be respectful and ride at a safe distance.
7. Do your best to keep pace with the group. If you are having trouble, let the Ride Leader know and they will make arrangements to help you.
8. Rest stops are usually short. Pay attention to the Ride Leader and be ready to leave when it is announced.
9. Please ride buzz free & sober! Save any alcoholic beverages until after the ride. We need you to be your best when out on the trails.
