TLC MTB & Trail Run Codes of Conduct
If you get it, you will understand.
If not, maybe another ride?
Just saying...
Or as we always say D.B.A.P.B.L.
- Respect the trail
- Respect the environment
- Respect wildlife
- No littering
- Respect your fellow rider
- Help others – you were a beginner once
- Respect the landowner – they make trails available for a race – not for your personal enjoyment when there isn’t a race – when a gate is closed, it’s closed – so don’t swear at landowners when confronted about trespassing
- If there’s a hill….get over it
- Respect the marshals and officials
- No princesses or drama queens allowed – this one is mainly for the real people
- Adhere to the basics
- Ride with a helmet fastened always
- Stick to the rules of the road – that means, stay on the left-hand side of the road. There’s nothing worse than trying to squeeze between two riders on each side of the road
- Train – well sort of…
- Pay it forward – help others in need – you may need help one day
- Respect the basics
- Bring a cell phone
- Bring your GPS
- Bring spares
- Carry enough liquid – for the ride. We will look after the rest
- If you are doing a race, your goodie bag isn’t always going to be like “The Platinum Collection”. Get over it. But we do try
- Don’t trash the organisers on Social Media – have the balls to chat to them first
- If racing, follow the arrows – not the person in front of you
- If you are tired and grumpy, take a few minutes to get your breath back. Don’t snap at other riders and certainly not at the organisers or marshals
- Enjoy it – we get it that fitness and health are a big part of what you do, but enjoy it as well.
- And finally – if you like what you see. Tell your friends to come and join in the fun. Join our Facebook Group and keep chatting to us
- Chill, Chat, Have a Cold One, Share Stories
