 The longer the loop the better  (for Me,  anyway  )   ;  generally   more  distance between riders  ,
 so  I can usually  ride around  by myself most of the  day ,  without bothering the  faster or slower  riders .

  Regards ;

It's an EQ thing

 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 ...

Rider etiquette; the slower riders respect the faster riders and the faster riders respect the slower riders, end of story.

Now lets talk about riding etiquette...
