If you are interested in Off Highway Motorcycle or Bicycle riding, good for you. Some of our dearest friends enjoy these forms of recreation.  There was a day and time when I too was a member of the physical elite and driven by the thrill of it.

This site is primarily designed (if you haven't already noticed) for the ATV rider.  We're not opposed to cyclist of any variety sharing our trails, and welcome you to do so.  That is the great thing about America, you don't have to feel like you have to exclude anyone in this great land.  (Well, I sure wish some of our overprotective environmental friends believed as we do about this.)

If you would care to contribute information about trails that can be shared with ATV riders (aka two trackers), then please feel free to share your ride.  See the link near the bottom of the menu to the left.

There are other websites that have dedicated their focus to motorcycles and bicycles.  You may find them more informative about your sport, but you are welcome to use the trail information you find here, although some trails may not be a pleasant experience for a bicyclist.

To make our use of the same trails more enjoyable to everyone, here are a few suggestions that will make us all enjoy the day without getting all tied up in our frustrations.

Hints for the motorcyclist
 

When you encounter a ATV rider or bicycle rider on the trail ahead of you, please make your advance around us as courteously as possible.  We're really not impressed by the speed that you can pass us on the trail.   We'd rather not be enveloped in your dust, so if you would just pass us gently, giving a friendly waive, we'll appreciate it.  If you want to take off like a bat out of .....(that dark and fiery place) after you have given us a buffer from your dust, then have at it. (Safely, Please - We'd rather not devote the remainder of our riding time to your medical needs, but will if necessary)

If an ATV rider sees you coming on the trail they should (if trained) pull over and let you pass so that you don't have to eat our dust.  Most of us are friendly and will say hello as you pass, a response of some kind is really quite appropriate. We're not trying to invade your personal privacy or safety.  We're just trying to be friendly.

If we happen to come up behind you, we will normally stay well in back of you until we are sure that you know that we are there.  If you would move to the right and  waive us on by, when it is safe for you, we'll try to make our advance with as little dust and  interruption of your momentum as possible.

If you happen on an ATV rider who doesn't respect these simple ways of safely sharing our natural resources, you have my deepest apologies.  This will likely be the ones who will be driving with no helmet, gloves, or protective clothing.  I'm sorry but the rules that require education on ATV use only apply to youthful riders.  Adults can be a bad example and as unsafe as any untrained youth.

You could refer them to this web site where they can obtain some education on this sport.
