Yes Rider Etiquette should be shown for shoure .
Why .... I think that Vinduro / Trail Ride are for Fun and are a Social event ...
We are trying to get Riders Back to the Sport of Riding there Old Bike and To get New Bloke to come and Ride Old Bikes ...
and enjoy a Good Safe place to ride your Old Bike and a Few Beers and Meet some New Mates ..
I Have heard Riders say that they have Been uncomfortable with some of the Faster Riders on the Loop..
The Vinduro that I have Been involved in We have Mowed Trails 2 meters or more wide ..Trimmed Bushes to Make it Safe .
Now this makes it very Easy to make a pass its 2 meters wide or more ....ALL good..
But when it get down to the single trail 1 meter wide with Long grass.
or in the Bush with trees very close ..
or a Very rocky bit ..
or its a water crossing .
or its Boggy Mud.
Some one who is A Average rider will Bork at this ..
and This is where Rider etiquette come in ....
A Good rider will see that the Bloke dose Not have the experience of you.
All you Just need to do is give Him a Bit of Time or a Bit of Room. That all ...
It will Not hold you up that Much. Even if you are out to try and put in a few fast laps in .it wont be the End of the world . ..
Any way its Not a Race Its a Vinduro .. A Social event is it Not ....
I have Stopped and Help Many riders at Harrow, 3 Bridges, Cooka and the other Vinduro in N.S.W ..
and Blokes have Help Me out of a bad Place (Many Thanks )
Many Rides Come to Vinduro Because They DO NOT WANT to RACE and they just WANT TO RIDE and HAVE FUN..
They Don t ride in the Bush Because of 4x4 .
Don't do Ride parks because they want to ride with other Blokes with Old Bikes .
They don t want to go VMX Racing because of many thing .
Like they Don t like the Jumps or just don't want to do get Hurt
or smash up by some One who think is going to be the 1982 World Champion.
They Now have found Vinduro/ Trail rides as a Grate place to have fun and have a Good ride with Good Blokes ..
I think if you are a GOOD Rider and are in So much of a Hurry that you can Not Give a Bloke a little bit of Rider etiquette ..
Just give Him a Bit of Time or Room.. that all
Than you may not be a GOOD Rider at all ...
