C. RULES OF THE TRAIL

1.Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you're riding off-road, the closest help may be miles away. See Section 8 for the equipment you should take with you on an off-road ride.

2.Don't ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others, make sure that someone knows where you're going and when you expect to be back.

3.Surface hazards make off-road riding much more difficult and there- fore more dangerous than riding on paved roads. Start slowly and build up your skills on easier terrain before tackling the more difficult.
