Safety tips for an off-road tour

A few simple rules that keep the tour enjoyable from start to finish.

Off-road riding is not dangerous, inattentive riding can be. These few things are enough.

Keep your distance

Leave room to the rider ahead: mud and loose ground mean a longer stopping distance than tarmac.

The guide's instructions

The guide knows the ground. Where they ask you to slow down, there is a reason.

Alcohol: never

No riding under the influence of alcohol or any other substance. That is not a rule but a matter of everyone else's safety.
