some face and neck warmth as well as permit your helmet to slide
on easier. There are also various styles of face masks to provide
additional protection in very cold weather.
Leader and Trail Rider
The first step is to choose a leader and a trail rider. The leader
should be an experienced rider who knows the area and the trails.
The trail rider should also be experienced and have knowledge of
the area and trails. The leader and the trail rider count and agree
on the number of people in the group. This number should be
checked periodically to make sure everyone is accounted for.
The group leader handles navigation, designated the road
crossing methods (see below) and set the pace for the group.
They signal all turns and oncoming traffic to riders behind.
The trail rider always rides last, ensures that everyone is accounted
for, assists anyone who has a problem, keeps count of any
departed riders, and never lets anyone fall behind.
Group Rides
The group should always stay together, in single file. Riders
should change positions in the line with great care. No one
should ever pass the leader
or fall behind the trail rider.
If
riders leave the group, they
should tell the trail rider, who
can advise the leader at the
next stop.
Riders should leave adequate
following distance. Three or
four sled lengths is a good
following distance or reasonable
trail speeds. Increase
following distance as trail speeds increase.
All riders must relay hand signals to the rider behind them.
This is critical at turns. Make sure the rider following makes
the correct turn. If the following rider is out of sight, stop and
wait for the rest of the group to catch up.
