Advisory

Off-road riding is a high risk activity, where the risk of incidents, risk of falls and/or injury to rider and machine are far greater than that of regular road riding.

Rider and machine should be suitably prepared for the challenge of an off-road ride;

Riders should always ride within one’s own ability.

If the route becomes too challenging for the rider, he/she should stop, speak with the ride Sweeper and/or Leader to seek assistance or make an alternative route plan.

It is recommended that riders wear protective clothing and/or equipment suitable for off-road riding.

For an off-road ride, it is important that riders stay within visual range of each other and/or mark course deviations on the trails.

It is recommended to carry a drink and snack with you, should the ride have to stop at a remote location.

ASB gravel road rides are intended for riders with ‘adventure’, ‘dual sport’ or ‘enduro’ types of machines, fitted with non-road, ‘block-tread’ or similar tyres fitted.

It is envisaged that standard road-going bikes do not participate in these rides.

Riders should provide the organiser and/or ride leader with an emergency contact name and telephone number.

ASB will issue a route plan prior to the event.

Second man drop-off system when used for group riding see:   https://algarveseniorbikers.com/Group%20riding.html 

 

ASB reserves the right to change or cancel an off-road event for any reason, for example, due to poor weather conditions

 

Have fun, respect the countryside, take care and enjoy the ride…
