Event terms

These terms apply to field operations described on this site. They are written so the practical rules are visible. They do not create jurisdiction, and they do not make the Authority a land manager.

Entries and fees

The current operation record collects no fee and reserves no place. Preparing a participation request is not an entry. No charge is made on this website. A refund does not arise from a charge that was not collected.

If a future exercise uses an outside registration service, the fee, the capacity, the cancellation rule, and a link to that service's own terms will appear on the operation page before anyone is asked to pay. Marketing consent will not be preselected, because this office does not intend to collect it.

Code of conduct

• Leave a feature as the builders left it. Do not soften it, and do not enlarge it, to suit the day.
• Do not post an undesignated trail, pin it, or explain how to arrive.
• Offer the pace. Do not assign it. A refusal is valid.
• Speed is welcome. Practice beforehand is welcome. The time may be taken seriously.
• Invite the friends who would want to come. Do not spend their afternoon for them.
• Ride trails you already have leave to ride. This file is etiquette, not a permit.
• Return borrowed objects.

The Custodian may decline a start when the papers are not in order. That decision applies to the assessment only. It is not a judgment on anyone's nerve.

Results

Intervals, when recorded, are the point of a trail speed assessment. Categories are nonbinding and may include going fast without apology. They are not prizes outside the day's papers. A disagreement is a note under Form 22. It is not an appeal, and it is not a request that the rider care less.

The fiction and the facts

The institutional voice is fictional. An announcement is not permission to enter land, to rebuild a trail, or to ignore an emergency. The assembly point, when one exists, will be written on the operation record before anyone is expected to travel.
