2010-2011 Trail Riding Guidelines for MTU Four Wheelers

We are supporters of TREAD Lightly.

Check out Responsible 4-Wheeling Tips.

1. Absolutely NO ALCOHOL or illegal drugs will be consumed on any trail ride. This includes lunch breaks and any night riding.

2. Don't cut new trails, follow the marked or beaten path. Always T.R.E.A.D. Lightly. Clearing trees from existing trails is OK.

3. Secure front and rear tow points are required

4. If you leave the event at any point, make sure you check out with the trail leader.

5. When caravanning on the highway, keep a safe distance between vehicles. Allow others to pass.

6. No open exhaust will be allowed anywhere (National Forest and State Land regulations require baffled mufflers or spark arresters).

7. When approaching steep grades, mud holes, water crossing, etc., leave enough distance between vehicles to prevent collision, or wait for an "all clear" in areas difficult to see the vehicle in front of you.

8. The trash you truck in is yours to truck out. Do not litter! Pick up any trash you find on the trail.

9. Never travel alone. Always have at least two (2) vehicles for safety's sake.

10. Always start with a full tank of gas. Carry extra gas on long trips.

11. Everything should be secured whether inside or outside the vehicle.

12. Always wear seat belts.

13. When you turn off on any trail or road, make sure the vehicle behind you makes the same turn.

14. Respect the community and environment in which you will be traveling.

15. Always share the trail wisely.

16. No fireworks or firearms allowed.
