As we all know the COVID situation has not improved and only gotten worse. We at the BTCEB would like to remind all trail users to wear masks, ride within your abilities, and stay local if you can. Here’s a great idea: ride to the trail head if you can! We know it’s not always possible but be smart about how and where you ride. Do your part to help keep us all safe!
The above graphic paints a cautionary (no pun intended) tale. Just image yourself creating these comets. Or riding through a comet tail. We all can make the most impact to limit the potential spread of the virus by wearing a mask while riding or have one in easy reach to pull up when coming upon other trail users. Earlier this year BTCEB among other mountain biking organizations helped sponsor an educational video related to COVID and safe trail use. Now more than ever is it relevant.
Although outdoor recreation activities have not been substantively changed with the recent tightening of the pandemic shelter at home orders it is critical to continue to be considerate of all trail users.
Stay safe and happy trails!
