Reminder: Good Trail Etiquette:
1) Communicate. If it's too narrow to overtake, say “Please let me through” or “Rider up”. Or, if there is room to just overtake off the main line, clearly say “I’m passing on your right/left”.
2) Overtake when its safe. Once they know you want to overtake, give the slower rider in front time to find a good place to move to the side, so you can safely overtake. If more than 1 person is busy overtaking, say “one more” so they know to let you by. The last person to overtake can say “last one”, so the overtakee knows they can move back onto the main line.
3) Say "Thank you!” We’re here to have fun, XTERRA is a cool sport with cool people, no need to bash elbows or cut riders off like it's the Mountainbike Olympics.
XTERRA is a global lifestyle brand that champions the outdoor enthusiast in their pursuit of relentless adventure.
