Independent groups!
With close to 100 people signed up to ride we want to take a second to encourage independent groups to form and ride together. By no means is anyone required to follow the itinerary. Forming groups will help lessen the load on the guided group.

Identifying new riders!
If you are a totally new rider we feel it is important to identify you so help can be provided. To do this we ask that you please wrap some fluorescent flagging tape around the ROPS on the drivers side. Please wrap a 2-3" section in a visible location and tie it off with a short tail. Though we do not plan to take any Most Difficult trails, I can NOT guarantee there will not be difficult spots along the way. I know that even a simple changeling spot, if handled incorrectly, can be come dangerous quick. We are all here for each other and will help as needed to get you across/up/down safely.

Rules of the trail!
Get this out of the way really quick.
- Rule #1 - You are responsible for the rider behind you. If they get lost it is YOUR fault. At every intersection, STOP and wait until riders behind you catches up to see where you went. We can not have anyone getting lost!
- Rule #2 - Use hand singles for oncoming traffic. Ex. Raise your hand with all 5 fingers up means 5 or more riders behind you. Raise hand with 2 fingers up means 2 riders are behind you. Raise hand with a fist means trail is clear.
- Follow the Ride Royal Blue Trail Rules.
- Stay on the trail.
- Be respectful to all riders.
- Do not litter. Pack it in pack it out.
- Helmets are recommended for SxS's. Required for under 18 and ATV riders.
- This is NOT a beer drinking trip. We are here to ride!

Me too

I can't wait!! This is almost as good as Christmas morning lol. I know most big groups stick to well established somewhat smoother trails. If anyone knows of some good rock or deep mud sections, I'm up for going with a smaller group to get some machines muddy. Ive only been there once so not a good candidate for leading.

@Delton I did some of the black trials last time i was there. I like the harder rocky trails.

 

[Plumber32]

I'm looking forward to riding some of the creeks and hit up a few challanges. I plan on going out Friday morning after breakfast and doing some exploring. Make it back in time to eat dinner before the night ride, let me know ,

 

[Hondasxs]

@Plumber32, I seen video of people riding down a creek. What trail is that? Is it part of the trail or a side trail, shortcut, or what? Something we can take a line down? Other then that, just normal crossings I think.

Hey I'm down for some of that. I can always find some mud later lol

@Hondasxs There's some creek riding on trail 13 and 37. 37 is like a small waterfall. Some videos on youtube of it. There was a gate on that trail when i was there. Trail 20 and 26 was pretty fun. Trail 9 is one of the harder trails.

I had a chart going from all the youtube videos I watched not sure what happened to it. Going to have to start over. Some of the creeks looked like you can ride in them to a point. There's not much out there when it comes to Royal blue as far as hey take this trip. Nothing compared to windrock. I took the famous razr club ride there and it was an adventure.

 

[Plumber32]

Trail 37 or by it and 13 sounds like water. Probably can get an idea from a map too

I like the part this is Not a drinking trip.I've seen it don't mix and keeps accidents down.lol

 

[Delton]

I agree. Back when I drank, I always waited til afterwards and gather round a campfire to do it.
