 All Trekkers must be 18 or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. (Minimum
age to participate is 13 years)
RIDE LEGALLY
Obey all traffic signs, signals and regulations. The Trek does not travel a closed course. Never wear a walkman with headphones over both your ears.This is illegal in California.
RIDE COURTEOUSLY
Just as we ask drivers to share the road with cyclists, we must share the road with them. Ride SINGLE FILE ONLY, and be considerate. Also, don’t forget your fellow cyclists—help them along the way with a greeting or a helping hand when you can.
RIDE SAFELY
Always wear a helmet when you are on your bike. This is a Trek requirement.
-
 Keep pacelines to a minimum. If you have never drafted, the Trek is not the time to learn.
- Cross railroad tracks slowly and at a right angle after checking traffic.
- Pass only on the left and then only after giving adequate warning with an “On your left!” that can be heard by the cyclist being passed.
- Pull completely off the road when stopped.
- Ride at a safe speed for your ability.
- Stay to the right so motorists can predict your moves.
- Don’t cycle too close to others; if one has a problem, everyone will have a problem.
- Watch for doors from parked cars opening into your path.
- Use your maps and written directions .
- Do not consume alcohol until the day’s ride is over. If you consume alcohol in camp, please be courteous of others.
- No baby buggies are allowed on the Trek, either on the back of a bicycle or in trailer form.
