Is participation dangerous?
This is not X-Games or free-riding
Racing speeds average around 8mph
Dirt is softer than asphalt no cars
Helmets are ALWAYS mandatory
We will discourage risky behavior
Accidents can, and may, happen
Coaches will be on every ride and will have a
first aid kit and cell phone
