Map and Event Notes
Mapped routes are scouted by riders who share them with the public. We are grateful for their work and hope you will also suggest routes or changes to routes you think others would enjoy. There is no claim of perfection, or even usefulness beyond giving a good idea of where you may be able to ride. We do not claim the mapped routes are all on public trails, or official trails approved by the forest service or BLM, or if private trails that there is permission to use that trail. These are routes others have taken that they were willing to share with us.
You are responsible to ensure your route is lawful and that your vehicle meets the requirements for any portion of the route, including proper registration and safety equipment. There are potions of several of the longer routes that use small to medium lengths of paved public roads. it is usually stated as such in the description. Make sure you meet the requirements for that type of use before driving those segments of the route.
If you have used the digital map tools before, you will realize there are some weaknesses. There are times the route is assigned to a trail, or small portion of a trail, that does not exist in reality - just on the digital map. Please do not attempt to make a trail there. Use your best judgement and decide for yourself where you should drive. There are also times when the person who donated the route was tracking their route and the gps glitched and it looks like they took a straight line from one spot to another where there is no trail. Again, use your best judgement. With your map and visual indicators, you should easily find the correct route. If the route was created by drawing it, you will notice the suggested route line frequently leaves the actual trail, please remember the suggested route line is just a mark associating you to the where the trail is likely to be and where it is likely going.
We are not guides. We provide information that allows individuals or groups to get out and enjoy their public lands. We hope it is helpful and gets you off to a good start. Please be safe and use good judgement.
A Note on Events
We love to provide events where like-minded riders can get together, learn about how to enjoy riding that area, study specific routes, and choose which routes to take. The most useful part of our events is the opportunity for participants to meet others and form groups. It allows the sharing of information and provides support if equipment fails, but we do not form nor monitor those groups. We enjoy educating the public to the possible uses of the public lands, and providing an opportunity to individuals and groups to enjoy their public lands. How each participant at the events held on sponsoring properties chooses to enjoy public lands, what groups they choose to ride with, and how they use the digital maps, is up to them. Even when an event focuses on a specific trail, or suggested route, many participants form groups to ride different routes; especially if they are already familiar with the suggested route. Please don't feel obligated to drive the route just as shown in the digital map, but please ride with others, do not leave one vehicle alone, or ride beyond you or your vehicles safe abilities.
