Mountain biking and
recreation in the outdoors in general can be a hazardous activity.
The maps, photos, files and other information provided on this
web site are provided as is, with no guarantee of their accuracy.
The posted information is provided for informational purposes
only and is not intended as a recommendation that you actually
go out and travel these areas without additional preparation
and knowledge.
Some of these trails may cross private property
or be otherwise closed to public access. We recommend you check
out the area you intend to visit with the appropriate authorities.
Some of these trails may be obviously long and technically
difficult, but even those rated as "easy" could contain
hazards.
Some of these areas may be a long way from roads or
assistance. Self rescue may be required in the event of trouble.
Electronic devices can fail; bring paper maps and know how
to use them. A cell phone may not work where you are going.
In addition, you may get lost, become injured, be attacked
by wild animals, or suffer the effects of weather, all of which
could result in injury or death.
Be honest with yourself in
assessing your own skill level. If you just bought a bike at
Wal Mart and quit smoking last week, do not attempt, say, a
six hour backcountry ride, or it could literally become a "death
march".
Be prepared. We recommend you carry all appropriate
safety gear, like helmets & gloves, as well as food, water,
tools, a means for creating fire, and additional clothing.
And common sense. Bring some of that along.
